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.
