When the original MacBook Air debuted in 2008, the general reception seemed to be, “Cool – but I'll pass.” Moreover, due to its premium price point and underpowered offerings, professional photographers didn't even give the first generation a passing glance.

On the release of the second generation of MacBook Airs in late 2010, the new models seem to demand consideration. With 11″ and 13″ screen options, increased performance, expanded upgrade options, and welcome design tweaks, the question stands:

Is the 11″ MacBook Air the perfect laptop for working the photographer working on-location?

1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo With 4GB RAM

For my test of the 11″ MacBook Air, I choose to look at the 1.4GHz option. Though Apple does offer a 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo setup, this is only an option with the 128GB SSD model at additional expense.

For the traveling photographer, the 2GB RAM that ships with the base configuration of the Apple MacBook Airs simply isn't going to cut it. Thankfully, the late-2010 models feature the option of upgrading to 4GB of RAM, unlike the original MacBook Air. For me, this necessary upgrade gets the MacBook Airs to a bare minimum for photo editing and processing.

If you're looking to squeeze every ounce of power out of your MacBook Air setup, the 1.6GHz might be worth it, but for my money, the extra $300 for the 0.2GHz bump and double the flash storage isn't worth it.

1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/ 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD: $1,399.00

1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor w/ 4GB RAM, 64GB SSD: $1,099.00

At “just” $1,099.oo for the base model bumped up to 4GB RAM, the 11″ MacBook Air is still one of  Apple's most inexpensive option for a full computer and display. The base model of the 11″ Air ties with the MacBook for the cheapest Mac with display at $999.

Inside The Box

If there's one thing Apple gets right, it's packaging. Price and performance aside, that shiny piece of aluminum is going to look good in its box.

The 11″ MacBook Air comes with the bare essentials – the standard MagSafe power adapter, extension cord, and a square packet.

The packet includes a slim, perfect-bound instruction manual, software agreements, and standard white Apple stickers so you can broadcast your expensive taste in electronics. In addition, there's a “software reinstall drive” – a tiny USB stick that allows you to restore the OS and bundled iLife software as necessary. The interesting aspect of this included USB dongle is that it eliminates the need for an optical drive and disk to reinstall the software.

Design

I almost feel foolish writing about the design of the new 11″ MacBook Air, because it's one of Apple's most beautiful designs to date. Thin, sleek, and impossibly spare, the case design for the 11″ MacBook Air is a stunning work of industrial design.

Almost equally mind-boggling is knowing that Apple will inevitably make an even thinner and gorgeous design that will leave your wallet even lighter.

Of course, the big question with the appealing design of the MacBook Air is whether it comes with sacrifices that limit its usefulness for the professional photographer.

On the underside of the MacBook Air, one nice touch is a set of four rubber bumpers in the four corners, which keep the bottom of the laptop just slightly raised off surfaces and scuff-free.

Build Quality

As a unibody design, the MacBook Air features incredibly tight construction. There's zero creak, the screen closes absolutely flush to the body, and the the hinge has no play.

For as thin and light as the Air body is, it's actually a little amazing just how nice the build of this machine feels in the hand. Next to my old 15″ PowerBook, the six years of design improvements Apple has made in the $999 11″ MacBook Air is starkly evident.

The one point where there's a detectable flex is on the screen – the very thin aluminum casing of the screen does give in the center when the Air is squeezed near the light-up Apple logo. Closer to the edges of the screen, there's no flex.

Size – Comparison: Air vs PowerBook

My old laptop is an ancient beast – a vintage 2004 15″ Apple PowerBook – a true dinosaur in computer-years. Just to put the size of the new 11″ Macbook Air into perspective, I thought I'd show the relative sizes of these two.

It's like Beauty and The Beast. After using the MacBook Air for the past several weeks, it's actually hard to imagine using anything heavier.

Connectivity

Drooling aside, the obvious concession with Apple's minimal design is limited connectivity, since the body of the 11″ Mac Book Air is barely thicker than a USB port at the back end of the case. As much as I'd love to see it, even a Firewire 400 port seems as though it might be too thin for this design.

The 11″ MacBook Air features the barest of connections:

  • 2x USB 2.0 ports
  • 1x Stereo jack
  • 1x Magsafe connector
  • 1x Mini DisplayPort

The 13″ MacBook Air features the same connections, but also features a built-in SD cart slot. For the mobile photographer, this is a huge benefit. However, if true portability is the goal, the 11″ model features an ideal form factor, so you'll have to weigh these trade-offs. Furthermore, most professional DSLRs still utilize CF cards as the primary storage format.

Needless to say, the new MacBook Air doesn't feature an optical drive, so you'll have to reply on Wi-Fi or USB for transferring data to and from this computer.

With the lack of Firewire 400 or 800 ports, you're stuck with USB 2.0 as your connection for importing images to the MacBook Air. Considering there are only two USB ports with one likely to be needed for an external drive, the issues of importing, transferring, and backing up with the MacBook Air certainly highlight the very limited connectivity of this setup.

MagSafe Power Connector

The MafSafe power connection has been around since 2006, and while it's not a new feature, the design fits in perfectly with the new MacBook Airs. However, due to the very limited real estate, the only issue here is potentially tight fits with USB port.

Keyboard & Trackpad

The keyboard of the MacBook Air is pretty much the same keyboard found on the MacBook Pro line. It's a “full-size” keyboard and feels just fine to type on.

The only real omission here is the lack of backlit keys. It's not a dealbreaker, but back-illuminated keys would certainly be nice for editing, keywording, etc in questionably-lit locations on assignment.

The trackpad of the new MacBook Air is great. For any photographer not used to multi-touch on their min workstation, the gestures-enabled trackpad is beautiful for quick navigation. Not only for surfing the web, but also for working with the cluttered (and scrollbar-filled) panes of Adobe Lightroom, too.

Screen

The screen of the new 11″ MacBook Air is fantastic, but not perfect. Apple has dropped in some class-leading resolution into the screens of the 11″ and 13″ Airs, but this screen doesn't come without a few caveats.

Pros: It's bright, super crisp, and punches above its weight class in terms of resolution.

Cons: It's only an 11.6-inch diagonal, no anti-glare options, and no flush glass enclosure like the MacBook Pros.

One thing of the new 16:9 aspect ratio sported by the new MacBook Airs is that content is, unsurprisingly, narrow. In contrast to the real estate of a larger screen, the relatively short height of the screen means that the working area in programs like Adobe Lightroom becomes extremely tight, even when hiding some content panes.

Battery Life

Overall, the battery life of the 11″ MacBook Air is good , but not excellent compared to the larger MacBook Pro models. The reason being is simply the limited space available for battery cells in the extremely thin unibody design of the Macbook Airs.

With light tasks like web surfing without heavy video viewing, the 11″ Air does deliver on the 5-hour estimate specified by Apple. With processor-intensive tasks like photo development, the work time can dwindle to 2-hours.

In light of this performance, heavy sessions of mobile processing and transmitting are best served with at least intermittent access to AC power. For one-off events with more limited image processing needs, the MacBook Air's battery life is sufficient.

Aside from general day-to-day use, one other consideration is the very low power consumption of the Air models while not in use – up to 30-days standby juice. Nice touch if you're going to be roaming.

Performance – General Use

For general use – web, email, etc – the Air soars. Even with the wispy 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, apps open with almost shockingly alacrity and general computer tasks are fast, fast, fast.

This speed  is in large part thanks to the SSD at the heart of the MacBook Air. Despite diminutive processing power, the solid state drive lends a snappiness to the machine that belies its true specs when compared to mechanical drives.

All the hype about the instant on, quick app loading, and the pleasure of using a platform this small and light is on point. For blogging and mobile computer use where heavy-duty processor power isn't necessary, the 11″ MacBook Air is a joy to use.

After using this machine on-the-go, it's hard to imagine wanting to grab a larger, heavier laptop as I'm heading out the door. Even the 13″ MacBook Air seems positively gargantuan compared to the petite 11″ model.

Performance – Photoshop

Overall, I found general that the modest MacBook Air was more than up for general Photoshop work in terms of quick editing – cloning, layer masks, layer adjustments, etc. In other words, the basic retouching tasks you'd be performing on-location or while traveling. For anything more serious, the format of a laptop simply isn't viable, regardless of the power.

If anything, the stock interface of using the Air's touchpad was the most limiting factor, due to the slight awkwardness moving sliders with the touch-based interface. Using keyboard shortcuts helps diminish this problem to a degree, but it's still not an ideal situation. This criticism isn't exclusive to the MacBook Airs, but extends to any laptop.

Adding in my preferred interface – a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet – makes processing on the Air much easier, though it takes it out of the realm of an ultra-portable, too.

Performance – Lightroom Editing

For editing in Adobe Lightroom, I found the 11″ Air perfectly serviceable, with some caveats. For tasks of making editing decisions based on composition, exposure, and timing, the MacBook Air does a fantastic job.

Due to the limited processor and RAM configurations, where I found the 11″ MacBook Air struggling is in rendering 1:1 previews from RAW. Here, the Air really seemed to struggle to render the images at 100%, which can be important when checking focus or determining detail effects like noise reduction or sharpening.

The workaround I found was in rendering 1:1 previews for the batch prior to editing, which made checking focus on a batch import a breeze. However, this system of editing assumes the luxury of time to render 1:1 previews (albeit also with the necessity of checking focus).

Overall, for quick editing of images in quick selects are made based on composition, exposure, and the moment/subject alone, the Air excelled. For exacting edits based on technique and focus, it makes sense to edit as completely as possible before this level of granularity of selection, and then to batch render previews as needed.

Performance – Lightroom RAW Processing

Overall, I had no complaints with the speed of using the Develop module in Adobe Lightroom 3. For the kind of quick edits would would need to process in the field – exposure, WB, curves, etc – changes are pretty much instantaneous and smooth.

Again, just as with Photoshop, the biggest stumbling block of RAW processing is the fact that you're using a labtop – using a trackpad on any laptop, even one multi-touch enabled – is far from ideal. Whether you're on a 11″ MacBook Air or a 17″ MacBook Pro, you're better off with a tablet interface like the Wacom Intuos 4 for the quickest processing.

Performance – Lightroom RAW Exporting

There are plenty of benchmarks on how the MacBook Airs perform against “real computers.” Personally, bar graphs don't mean a whole lot to me, which is why I always try to bring you simple, real world examples in my reviews.

To test the new 11″ Air, I setup a simple experiement – pitting the laptop against my current workhorse, my Apple Mac Pro. Now, my Mac Pro isn't not new – it's a mid-2007 system with a modest 2 x 2.66GHz Dual-Core Xeon processors, which not heavy by 2011 standards, still rips through most daily tasks. Aside from a difference in the processors, we're also talking 9GB RAM in the Mac Pro vs 4GB RAM in the Air.

The Test:

My test for these two machines was simple – I exported 60 RAW (Nikon .NEF) files from my Nikon D3 at full resolution to 80% quality JPGs and timed the task. The results?

MacBook Air: 7:12

Mac Pro: 3:29

In other words, the Mac Pro was a little over twice as fast. To break it down to individual files, here's how the two setups performed:

MacBook Air: 7.2 seconds per file

Mac Pro: 3.5 seconds per file

Granted, we're comparing a pro-level desktop machine (however aged) with a featherweight here, but hopefully this test can give you a reference for how the new 11″ MacBook Air stacks up in terms of processing power.

Summary

So, is the 11″ MacBook Air the perfect laptop for working the photographer working on-location? Of course, this is a trick question. The 11″ MacBook Air, with its limited processing power and even maxing out to 4GB RAM, is far from the perfect engine by any standard when it comes to photographic software.

However, in terms of delivering an ultra-light platform for mobile editing, the 11″ MacBook Air proves a completely viable solution when size and weight are of paramount concern. After all, the Air weighs in at almost exactly half the weight of the 4.5-pound 13″ MacBook Pro. While 4.5-pounds might not sound like much, I'd take the 11″ Air over the MacBook Pro without blinking the next time I have to shoot a 3-day music festival.

I can't help but think that the MacBook Air line is something famed nature photographer Galen Rowell would have appreciated. Rowell was known for his use of light SLR bodies and compact primes that let him “be there when the light is right” on ultra-light expeditions when heavier “pro” gear would have been a burden. After all, the best camera is the one you have with you.

For power, connectivity, and options, the 13″ MacBook Pro offers superior specs in every way with very few of the compromises found in the 11″ and 13″ MacBook Air models. What the Air line uniquely delivers on is the ability to quickly edit in the field with the lightest possible setup. This is the photographer's go-anywhere editing platform.

Ultimately, the MacBook Air is a machine of compromise as a tool for the photographer. However, with its compromises also come a level of freedom that translates into an efficiency impossible with heavier setups. For mobile editing, the best computer is the one you have with you.

  1. I use the first 2008 Macbook Air model and find it more than satisfies my needs to this day, even for heavy photoshop needs (as long as I carry a tablet with me).

    And it fits in my purse.

    The only reason I don’t like bringing it on shoots is if I am shooting at a smaller location, people want to look at the shots before I have had a chance to edit them in any way, including simply discarding shots that are overexposed, etc. But when I do want to bring a laptop, even if it’s just for extra storage so I can clear my memory cards, it’s a no brainer.

    1. Hey Rebecca,

      Thanks for your input on using a MacBook Air for photo on location. Glad to hear that the first generation is working out well for you.

      In my use, just as you’ve found, Photoshop was not an issue at all. For me, that’s the funny thing about some of these benchmarking tests. By all comparative accounts, the MacBook Airs don’t fare that well in the Photoshop tests – but for real world results, there’s really no issue. As you know, the tablet interface makes so much more of a difference!

  2. Oh, and to add – I also own the brand new iMac 27 inch and with the exception of screen real estate, don’t really feel like my old Air lags behind.

    That’s the beauty of Apple products – they age well. Thanks to their design, they always provide a smooth experience.

    1. In my use, the only real aspect where the MacBook Air lags behind is for heavy processing – like converting RAW files. However, the SSD flash storage of the Air makes the system as a whole run so quickly, the overall experience is very fast.

    1. Hey Corey,

      Nice to hear from you. It’s not an easy decision on this laptop. Ultimately, you have to decide whether portability or performance matter the most – and also price.

      Still, with all the caveats, the MBA is still an incredible machine – for me, it’s still a very compelling package if you’re looking for a go-anywhere machine.

      1. ya man I agree … as far as a go-anywhere machine Mac book air would be great .. its light wait and small and it can do some of the things you might need if your trying to edit on location … deff stuff to think about here

  5. Great review and this has totally help my decision that I have been trying to over come. Do I spend the money on an Ipad for shoots or spend a little bit more for the air and have a complete workstation. I think the Ipad has its place in the photography realm but for me after this review I defiantly am more persuaded towards the air now.

    Reply

    1. Hey Tanner, very glad to hear that is review helped your decision. If it were my decision, I’d definitely go for the 11″ MacBook Air over an iPad for shoots – even if it’s the base model for $999, it’s going to be so much more fully featured than the first generation iPad. Granted, the Air is also a lot bigger, but it’s still something you should be able to throw into your bag without much thought.

    4. @toddowyoung nice review. thought about switching to an Air, but probably will hold off until specs get beefed up.

  7. Hum.

    At home, I have a 2×2.8go Quad Xeon + 10 go RAM DDR3 + 2×1 Go ATI … and I find it’s slow … compared to the laptop of my girlfriend (a basical I3 + 4GO RAM + 512mo ATI) …

    So, that’s why I stop MAC this year … because prices and power are less important than marketting …

    I have tested Air … same point of view than you … but for me, MAC is became the new Microsoft and takes people for doves.

    1. Hey Rod,

      Nice to hear from you. It seems amazing that your desktop setup seems so slow compared to your girlfriend’s i3.

      PCs have almost always been more economical, and I don’t think the MacBook Air is any expection.

  9. I like the idea of such a lightweight portable machine, but it still isn’t there for my own needs. The first problem is the lack of a FireWire 800 port. I like my Hoodman RAW reader.

    On the other hand, I could see this as a great alternative for a blogger on-the-go. Head out with this & my Nikon Coolpix P7000 stuffed in a messenger bag, it would just need some aircard or WiFi availability to upload in the field, with a much lighter package than a Macbook Pro.

    It’s an interesting machine, but I’m still passing.

    Reply

    1. Hey William,

      I would love to see a FireWire 800 port in the Air series. But for that it seems as though the 13″ MacBook Pro is the best choice for a portable workstation with FW.

      I use a FW800 reader as well – the SanDisk Extreme FW800 reader – and I love it.

  25. Wow. Your review is incredibly thorough. Do you think a photographer would need to own this and an iPad or would just this do the trick? I played with this in the store and it did make me think just having this could be fine since I have an iMac at home.

    Reply

    1. Hey Trudy,

      Thanks for the comment. I think the answer to your question depends on the use of the two. The iPad seems to be increasingly popular as a portfolio display, and for this the Air (or any laptop) isn’t really ideal.

      That said, for most everything else, the MacBook Airs are going to be more flexible.

  26. The lack of FW800 or USB3 ports are a killer for me. When in the field shooting on location for various wire services, load time for raw images, hd video and lack of storage (including external) is a deal breaker. Loading 8-16gb cf cards on MacBook pro via a fw800 reader is highly advantageous over USB2 readers. Saves me lots of time when I only have 15min to capture, edit, caption and upload. Sure, JPG workflow would alleviate some of these bottlenecks, but I don’t want to compromise. I just want some faster connectivity options. Perhaps the light peak technology will make it into next generation. Then I’ll revisit the air.

    1. Hi Andrew,

      I would have loved to see FW800 on the new MacBook Airs – the FW800 CF reader I use has spoiled me for speed.

      We’ll see what the next generation of MacBook Pros hold (perhaps this week, even).

      I’m very curious about the 13″ MBP – I’d love to see Apple shave off half a pound or more. Even the smallest MBP is huge compared to the Airs.

  33. Nice review, I have a very similar experience, after using my MBA11″ for a month. Although the thing I found limiting was the screen resolution – I work in Apple Aperture and would love to have the additional 100px each way (found in the 13″MBA) to fit the windows better. However, for quick evaluation and non complex edition it works very well.

  35. That thing is a piece of junk. My 15″ MBP isn’t that much bigger. Fits in my backpack just fine and will run every app I want at almost twice the speed. I don’t know why anyone would want to spend over a grand on a computer that does less than spending the money on a least a 13″ MBP. Seems like a huge waste in the grand scheme of things.

  36. Thanks for the very detailed review Todd. I really appreciate you going through the tests for Photoshop and Lightroom, the two applications that I as a photographer also use. I’m definitely considering making a new Air my go to travel computer now rather than my aging 2007 15″ Macbook Pro.

    To get around the Raw processing, did you try any JPG processing at 1:1? Although I’m a big proponent of raw, I’ve wondered about the merits of shooting Raw+Jpg while in the field. The idea I have is to process the JPGs for focus accuracy, composition, etc (flag status) where not as much processing power is needed. Then, just applying the same settings over to the Raw files before developing farther.

    Keep up the great work!

  38. This is quite an excellent review! Thank you for all the extensive information regarding Photoshop and Lightroom. This information will be key in my decision to purchase an 11″ MacBook Air. My biggest fear was that I would have issues with color correction for my larger images. I am a photographer as well. It seems as though the MacBook Air handles Photoshop with flying colors in terms of image adjustments. It will also probably handle my light graphic design work at that rate. I want to max out the machine with 1.6GHz, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD so I’m sure it will be even more capable than your review unit :)

    I’m also very glad to hear that the Wacom Intuos 4 works well on the 11″. That is my interface of choice as well when it comes to small adjustments, like editing eye color, airbrushing or brightening a smile. How did you go about installing the drivers without the CD/DVD drive in the MacBook Air?

  41. Because I tend to travel quite a bit, I’ve become unrealistically obsessed with the weight of things. My MacBook’s pretty light, in the grand scheme of things, but once I picked up someone else’s Air I knew I would have to get one, no matter what. I was really sort of hoping that it would be totally unusable for photography so that I wouldn’t be tempted to throw all my money at it. (I’m throwing all my money at lenses instead but, God, nice zooms are so bloody heavy.)

    Reply

    1. I think that ultimately, in terms of performance, the MacBook Air is farther from unusable than it is from ideal. It’s certainly neither. But if you travel, the 11″ Air is a feather weight that makes a 13″ MacBook look downright obese. Even the 13″ MacBook Air looks a little unnecessarily large after using the 11″.

      Reply

      1. Hello from my new 11″ MacBook Air! I’m excited to try it out. I haven’t figured out how to load LightRoom on it yet, with the whole no-dvd situtation. But once I do… hurray!

  42. I serious thought of getting the MBA 11″ last month. One of my other concerns is memory. because its SS memory, like flash drives, repeated moving, deleting, swapping out data/images damages the memory, so it doesn’t last as long.For a normal person that’s not a big deal since they dont usually deal with the amount of data I do (and any professional photographer). Constantly swapping data to and from an external would shorten the lifespan of the memory. The husband figured I’d have to swap out MBA every year to 18 months because of it, which made the decision for me. Like you, at the office/studio I have Mac pro (with 30″ screen) that rocks. For location and travel I lug around the massive 17″ MBP, and while I love the machine, I hate the size and weight with all the travel I do. I want a 13″ MBP. Considering selling my 17″ and buying a 13″ to make my life easier. I still drool over the MBA though, being so light and small.

  45. My wife has the base level 11 inch Air and it kicks my iMacs butt. The SSD drive is so fast. I would definitely consider taking this out on the road with me, because standard laptops are too heavy. I like the iPad as well, but it just doesn’t cut it for more extensive tasks.

    1. Thanks for the feedback. Your comment reminds me – instead of Lightroom, I should have tested Photo Mechanic on the Air. I’d love to see how that application runs on the MacBook Air.

  47. This is the perfect review for my needs. But as of today,Apple release a much faster Macbook AIr, I eagerly await if you will make a similar review. They claim it is 2x faster then the previous model, which would make it almost on a par with your mac pro, in terms of rendering speed. Hoping you can shed light to help me decide between the new MAcbook air vs probably replaced in a few months macbook pro.
