The flash storage performed exceptionally in other tests, duplicating a 5GB folder of multimedia files in 32 seconds. The Air also sprang back to life instantly when we opened the lid. The UX31A came closest, at 23 seconds, but it was no contest. The Air booted into OS X 7 in just 12 seconds, beating last year's version by 5 seconds, and most other Ultrabooks by half. The UX31A scored a higher 6,903, but it has a more powerful 1.9-GHz Intel Core i7-3517U processor, 4GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. On Geekbench, the Air returned a score of 6,539, which bested the category average of 4,772 and outpaced last year's Air (5,860).
This combination of components offered fast performance on our tests. Inside the 2012 Air is a 1.8-GHz Intel Core i5-3427U processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of flash storage. When we captured our face with the old and new Air side by side, there was a much greater level of detail coming from the FaceTime HD camera. However, as with most webcams, it had trouble when there was a bright light source behind us our face became silhouetted. It's a definite step up from the VGA camera in the last Air.

While it's as secure as ever, the previous plug was more flush with the side of the notebook and had a more streamlined look.Ĭlick to EnlargeThe Air's 720p FaceTime camera delivered crisp, clear images with accurate colors. The most obvious change is the thinner MagSafe2 connector, and the T-shaped plug. The SD Card Slot on the right still doesn't let you insert cards fully, which is a bit annoying. The left side also houses the MagSafe connector for power as well as the headphone jack. The Thunderbolt port on the right is faster, but the universe of compatible devices is still quite small.
