Miscellanea
- MacBook Air 11-inch of late 2010 is meant for instant communication and quick typewriting. It is closer to a 2-in-1 tablet, the non-touch screen the only feature that set it apart.
- Although the 11-inch MacBook Air is only slightly lighter than the 13-inch MacBook Air, the biggest difference is the footprint which gives each model a distinct category, the 11-inch Air is almost small enough to fit in a space that can hold an iPad.
- Though the specification says two RAM options (2 GB or 4 GB) and flash storage options (64 GB or 120 GB) MacBook Air 11-inch is not home upgrade friendly. The upgrade was available at a time of purchase.
- With sizes that small, heating can be a problem. The aluminum casing helps to dissipate the heat into the air, but not much. On the other hand, MacBook Air 11” is not meant for serious processor loading tasks.

it’s the year 2020 now. Year of the COVID19 (in case someone reads this years later). I am still using this mac air model. For basic stuff. I tried to have the processor and storage upgraded. Was told not possible. So here I am again, is there a possibility to get a storage or processor upgraded so this can still keep up with the constant software updates?
Im still using this also As a backup… I gut the drive update from the original to 480 gig from Jetdrive. My memory is still 2 gig though… I wanted at least 4 or much better 8.
