MacBook Air 11' Review (2011)

In this video I review the 2011 MacBook Air 11". This model has the dual core 1.6GHz Intel Core i5-2567M, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB solid state drive. I go over battery life, gaming performance, video editing, web browsing, screen, trackpad, backlit keyboard, OS X Lion, SSD, performance, Core i5 CPU / processor speed, ports and Thunderbolt.

This is where ‘hey guys this is Austin’ began

A legendary intro was made on this day

Austin Evans You know this is the very first video you said 'Hey guys, this is Austin' On?

Definitely the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

I would highly recommend not getting a MacBook Air right now as Apple will most likely being refreshing them on Monday. :) I'll be making a video then going over what's new which will hopefully answer your question.

As for the MacBook Air vs iPad I made a video comparing them on my channel a couple months ago, just search "MacBook Air vs iPad" on my channel and you should find it.

[austinevans]

For you the 11" Air should be just fine. The only thing is that the screen is a bit small for some people (although personally I love it). I would try one first and see if it's right for you but if it is then I'd go for it!

It’s been 6 years and his content is still badass

[austinevans]

Thanks! Yeah I would definitely recommend 4GB of RAM, 2GB really just isn't enough.

[austinevans]

There's no major difference as far performance goes between 11" and 13". It comes down to what size will work best for you. When I use the MacBook Air I'm usually traveling so the 11" form factor works well for me but if it was my main machine 13" would be better.

@jwbjnwolf I don't know about other people but I would applaud if I saw someone using carrying a 27" iMac with them.

I usually wouldn't comment on reviews but this one was really fantastic. Just right amount of details and personal opinion while watching pretty pictures of the device. Thanks

[austinevans]

@XxAimeeBaybiixX Yep, it'll handle that no problem.

[stewardlie]

OMG This is one of the best Macbook air review. I have been watching reviews for the air and found that this is the best review. And man I was shocked to see your face, so young. Sounded much older. LOL

[austinevans]

@WallEandEveRock Sure if you're doing very minor things it will be okay.

[austinevans]

@WallEandEveRock Any computer can upload video, sure. As far as editing it can probably handle it although it probably won't be great with only 2GB of RAM. I would really recommend getting the model with 4GB of RAM and the 120GB SSD.

O lie this was your best video you have put up and I have been subscribed for 2 years now

[alextbhmusic]

Your videos are very professional. Definitely deserve more views :D

One of the better quality reviews on youtube.

I am very excited for monday, and am most thinking about upgrading my 2010 MBP to an air or getting an iPad companion.
This was a great video keep up the great work.
