Apple MacBook Air 2012

The improvements in this year's 13-inch Air are far less dramatic than last year's, both from a features and performance standpoint, but the Air is truly the go-to MacBook now, a machine that's even more affordable, although it still looms well above the cost of most Windows Ultra books. Because of its excellent performance, the MacBook Air remains the most recommendable Mac-book of the current batch, and one of the most affordable.

Want a MacBook that's truly portable? This is it. Want a back-to-school MacBook? This is the one. And, until the US$2,199 Retina Pro drops in price, the US$1,199 13-inch Air remains the MacBook for the masses. It's lighter, it performs better than ever, it's less expensive, and in head-to-head tests with the 2012 13-inch MacBook Pro, the Air performed very closely, and had better battery life: Nearly 45 minutes better than the 2011 Air.

Owners of last year's Air need not consider an upgrade, but if you haven't pulled the trigger on getting an Air yet, this is the best time to leap on board.

Design

The all-aluminum unibody design of the MacBook Air has become iconic, and its rock-solid wedge-shaped build has influenced many of the current crop of Windows Ultrabooks. However, just like the iPhone started iconic and gradually found itself surrounded by a sea of similar competitors, the MacBook Air now sits among Ultrabooks, no longer as stand-out as it was a year ago. That doesn't mean the Air is any less comfortable or excellently built, but the look, going on a few years old, is feeling less surprising.

Price as reviewed	US$1,199 (S$1,688)
Processor	1.8GHz Intel Core i5 ULV (3rd-gen)
Memory	4GB, 1,600MHz DDR3
Hard Drive	128GB SSD
Chipset	Intel HM77
Graphics	Intel HD Graphics 4000
Operating system	OS X Lion 10.7.4
Dimensions (WD)	325 x 227mm
Height	17mm

Both versions of the 13-inch Air sold on Apple's US Web site come with the same 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, a third-gen Intel Ivy Bridge CPU with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz. If you choose the US$1,499 256GB SSD version, you can upgrade to a bumped-up 2.0 GHz Core i7 (Turbo Boost to 3.2 GHz) for US$100, and upgrade the SSD to 512GB for an extra US$500. Trick out your Air all the way, and it'll cost US$2,199--not so coincidentally, the cost of an entry-level Retina Display MacBook Pro.

Microsoft leaving Apple behind

Microsoft tablet PC with windows 8 known as surface.At an event here, the company showed off the device, which is about the same weight and thickness as an iPad, with a 10.6-inch screen. The tablet has a built-in "kickstand" that will allow users to prop it up for watching movies, and a thin detachable cover that will serve double duty as a keyboard.

"We want to give Windows 8 its own companion hardware innovations," Ballmer said.

One interesting element of the forthcoming tablet is that it will be one of the first non-Xbox devices to get Xbox Live streaming capabilities.

Don't get too excited though – this means only movies via the Zune service, rather than a fully-fledged suite showcasing the best Xbox has to offer.

It does help paint a better picture of what Microsoft is bringing to the table(t) here, given it has very little heritage in the hardware business… we'd imagine the music service will be involved too.

Interesting Feature

In fact, it seems like the company's Xbox smart glass plans are set to feature heavily here too - imagine streaming everything from your console onto a dedicated tablet?

Apple has a new challenge now against the rival Microsoft's Surface tablet. Microsoft said one version of the Surface tablet would come with 32 gigabytes or 64 gigabytes of storage and feature a type of chip called ARM that is commonly used in mobile devices. Steven Sinfosky, president of Microsoft's Windows division, said the price would be comparable to that of other tablets that use ARM chips.

Now the tablet geeks must check out the new Microsoft tablet to be launched around October so you have to wait for it.

Google Drive an Icloud for android

Google has finally released Drive, a new cloud storage option for all Google account holders, offering up to 5 GB worth of free storage. While it may be easy to draw comparisons to Dropbox, Microsoft's SkyDrive, or Amazon Cloud, Google Drive represents the final element of a powerful cloud platform, with services that rival those of Apple's iCloud.
