  • "Mislabeled 13" MacBook Air!"
    on by CJW2.0

    Pros Dual Thunderbolt ports and bult in HDMI are a positive step.
    Retina is an additional bonus!

    Cons Where do I start?
    1:The lack of an upgradable ram (being stuck at 8GB) for a so called "pro" model is simply stupid.
    2: The next HUGE negative is the lack of the discrete graphics card.
    3 Price. FAR too expensive for the missing hardware.

    Summary Do not buy this computer. The drawbacks outweigh the positives.
    Sure it's got a "retina display" and Dual thunderbolt connections. However for Apple to call this a professional level laptop is simply mind blowing. This is a moderately beefed up MacBook Air with a Retina display and nothing more. If you happen to do 3D modelling or working in the world of 2K or Full HD video, You're going to want a laptop with a GPU.

    VERY disappointed Apple!

  • "Great quality at a premium."

    Pros This product offers a superb display. No questions asked, the retina lineup is leading the industry of laptop displays at the moment. It offers performance of high caliber and is great for anyone who wants to get work done, in a multiple locations.

    Cons Unfortunately this device is expensive and is possible only suited towards the business market as using high end aesthetically pleasing MacBooks give a better impression to their clients. The 13 inch model may feel a bit small at times.

    Summary In conclusion we see that this is a great product released from Apple, however it comes at a premium. Some would argue that it's too big, but that is what you have to pay to be on the Apple float. The laptop is reasonably customisable (at purchase) in the way you can upgrade RAM and SSD sizes. However unfortunately, like most new Apple products the ability to customise it after being built is becoming ever increasingly difficult or expensive.
    In conclusion we see that this product once customised to tailor your requirements, is a great device. However it's price would put many people off. However, lets not judge how good a product is just on its price, lets judge it on what it actually is. If your buying a Mac in itself, you clearly have spare cash in your pockets. Overall another great product to join the Mac line-up.
