The Macbook Air rivals are coming.
It started with Samsung’s Series 9, a pair of ultra-thin laptops cased in aircraft-grade materials and running on Intel’s latest Sandy Bridge platform. As you might expect, pricing caused a wince at $1,200 for an 11-inch model and $1,650 for a 13-inch model.
Next up is Dell, which will do its best …
Ready, set, Sandy Bridge! It looks like Apple’s MacBook Air may finally get the processor and chipset update it’s long deserved in the coming mid-summer months.
Digitimes cites a Taiwan-based supplier as reporting Apple will begin shipping new 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch MacBook Air models packing Sandy Bridge (faster, cooler, lower …
This 13-inch Samsung Series 9 notebook I have here is a sexy slab, my friends. It tips the scales at 2.88 pounds thanks to Samsung’s use of aircraft-grade “Duralumin” which is apparently twice as strong as aluminum.
The backlit keyboard is one of the best I’ve used and the computer itself feels like it’s generally in hyperdrive—it …
Apple gives us plenty to complain about, but one thing I wouldn’t is the graceful design of my 13-inch mid-2010 MacBook Pro. It aces both form and function, a rare (well, not so rare if you’re Apple) technology coup.

Uh-oh, could it be that not all Apple MacBook Airs are created equal? I mean apples-to-apples MacBook Airs–not just of the same family, but the same exact model? Could some customers buying Apple’s ultra-slim fits-in-a-file-folder notebook be getting the shaft (or a perk, depending on your vantage) when it comes to solid state hard …
Is this a victory dance? After being identified as a thief, and having this embarrassing video posted online, I think not.
Fortunately, Mark Bao, an 18-year-old student at Bentley University in Massachusetts, knows his way around a computer. When his MacBook Air was stolen, he discovered he could still access several his hard drive …
Apple’s most recent line of MacBook Air computers is an impressive competitor in the ultraportable notebook market. While the 11-inch MacBook Air weighs in at just 2.2 pounds, the 13.3-inch version actually strikes me as somewhat more impressive given that its got a nice, big keyboard and the screen resolution is a whopping 1440×900 …

My TIME.com Technologizer column this week is about the new direction that Apple is taking Macs–which is about bringing some of the simplicity of the iPhone and iPad to the 27-year-old Mac platform. The first chapter in that story is last week’s introduction of all-new 11.6″ and 13.3″ MacBook Air models–and the most striking thing …
Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the stage today to announce the new iLife ’11 software suite, FaceTime availability for Mac users, Apple’s upcoming operating system “OS X Lion,” and new 13.3- and 11.6-inch models of Apple’s ultraportable MacBook Air notebooks. Here’s a look at what’s new.

Apple is holding its Back to the Mac media event today at 1:00 PM, Eastern. We could all wait patiently for the company to announce whatever it’s going to announce, or we could go the fun route and engage in wild speculation.
Here’s a look at what’s rumored to be heading our way today.

We’re going to have to connect some dots on this one, but let’s explore how Apple might go about selling an 11.6-inch version of its ultraportbale MacBook Air notebook.
For starters, an analyst named Keith Bachman reportedly said in a recent research report that Apple will be announcing two new MacBook Air models at its press …
