Conclusion: The new 13.3 inch MacBook Air with 128 GB Flash memory has quite a bit going for it, in terms of performance, speed, looks, durability, reliability, functionality, little energy usage and portability. 12 hour battery life surely makes a bit of difference for when you're out and about. OS X Mavericks, like the previous versions of Apple operating systems, is very user friendly with lots of apps and it is not claimed to be the most advanced OS on earth for no reason. Overall it is a great Macbook and should be preferred by those that favour very long battery life and ultra portability, if you're making a decision between a Macbook Air and Pro.
