11.6" MacBook Air Review: 13" Compared
The 11″ beats the 13″ in what the Air is good for. It’s a fun secondary computer as long as you manage your expectations — and your budget. Update: This LCD viewing angle test demonstrates my claim beautifully. Look at the gamma test (image 1) and the blue/purple fade (image 2) and compare to your other displays. www.lagom.nl What’s YOUR opinion of the MacBook Air?
