Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (Thunderbolt) Review, Specs and Price

Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (Thunderbolt)

Apple has been launched the latest generation of MacBook Series, namely Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (Thunderbolt). The Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (Thunderbolt) brings new designs and brings fresh air for the Apple MacBook Series. 
 
The Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (Thunderbolt) retains the super-slim design seen on the previous versions. Measuring 0.68 by 11.8 by 7.56 inches (HWD), and tapering to 0.11 inch at its thinnest edge, the 2.32-pound Air is still thinner and lighter than any competitor. The Acer Aspire AS1830T-68U118 and the Lenovo ThinkPad X120e are two of the lightest units we've seen, and they still outweigh the Air by noticeable margins (3 and 3.3 pounds, respectively). The iconic aluminum Unibody construction keeps the MacBook Air 11-inch both slim and strong. For more details, here are the full specifications of Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (Thunderbolt):
