It packed several game-changing revisions. Not only was it the first mainstream laptop you could buy with an Intel Haswell processor, it was also the first production laptop supporting the new \u2018three-times-faster\u2019 802.11ac Wi-Fi draft standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The updated 2014 models feature small processor speed bumps and price reductions but little else has changed. For reviews of the previous versions see 13-inch MacBook Air (2013) and 11-inch MacBook Air (2013) over at our sister site Macworld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The use of a low-power Intel Core i5 processor (in both 2013 and 2014 models) means that the MacBook Air lasts longer than ever before \u2013 and quite possibly by a significant margin: Apple\u2019s figures, based on wireless web browsing, spell out a total runtime that has been stretched from an already handy seven hours, all the way to 12 hours for the 13-inch Air (9 for the 11-inch model).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Externally there\u2019s nothing different in the 2014 MacBook Air models from the Mid-2013 MacBook Air laptops, and even little to differentiate it from the last refresh before that. Indeed there\u2019s little cosmetically to separate it from the previous two generations, since the notebook\u2019s main design revamp in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple MacBook Air 11in and 13in (Early 2014): Build and Features<br>\nThe Apple MacBook Air (Early 2014) sports the same supreme all-metal build quality that we\u2019ve yet to see surpassed in other brands\u2019 laptops, styled with a wedged taper from rear to front edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple MacBook Air 2014 has the same familar tapered profile as the past few generations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite Apple\u2019s reputation for assembling premium products at premium prices, we\u2019ve not seen any Microsoft hardware partner match the features, build and attention to detail, either at the same price or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n\n                     &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/battery-pc-laptop_Lab.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Laptop Battery<\/a> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/hotproduct.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Hot Products\ufeff<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple&#8217;s new MacBook Air marks the day we can expect true all-day battery life from a performance laptop.
