#2017 MACBOOK AIR VS 2018 WINDOWS#
But hey, these are ultrabooks, she/you WON’T find MUCH better alternatives neither on Windows front, especially because they have intel HD instead of Iris. Oh, and the Air will be worse since its inferior hardware. So yes, she sould be able to play on that, but in the long run it’ll destroy her laptop (battery-wise absolutely and I’m very positive about the screen as well). And this was Sims 3, so the 4 will be worse both in resolution/framerate and temps. My GF tried to play Sims 3 on her 2015 13” rMBP and, well, it ran even at adequate resolution and framerate but the laptop got REALLY hot (and by that I mean at least 60-70C (on the surface, I don’t even want to think about the CPU temps.), so really hard to even touch), especially in the single vent area and the screen over that (at which the vent blows the hot air).
#2017 MACBOOK AIR VS 2018 PRO#
Will we find it harder to get support for the older device? I noticed the 2015 Pro is running off of OS X whereas the new Macs are all running on MacOS now - is OS X being killed off in terms of support?Īnything else we should be aware of? I don't want to push her towards the better technical spec, if it's gonna mess us about in other aspects!Īlready found the below from searching the sub: It also has a HDMI which is obviously useful for connecting the laptop to TV/Monitors - Appears to be superior in most ways other than being thicker/heavier. I've compared the two, and with the 2015 model you're getting a faster processor, Intel Iris & a retina display. Within her budget is two options, as we have a Curry's voucher we can't go elsewhere: I'm purely a Windows/Android user, whereas she has an iPhone and wants to get a macbook for her University studies. Hello, looking for some advice for my girlfriends sake. iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch wallpapers.

Rules The last time we checked, $1,400 is more than $1,078.Welcome to r/Macbook, the community for Apple news, rumors, and discussions related to the MacBook family. To actually get storage parity with the XPS 13, you’d have to pay $1,400 for the higher-end MacBook Air. Dell’s XPS 13 gives you a quad-core, high-performance Core i5-8250U, 8GB of LPDDR3 and a 256GB SSD for $130 less.
Winner: Tie except at high resolutions, where the MacBook Air 13 wins Priceįor $1,200 the new MacBook Air gives you a low-power, dual-core Core i5, 1600p resolution screen, 8GB of LPDDR3 memory and a 128GB SSD. While we haven’t tested the latest 4K-resolution screen in the XPS 13 9370, we’re sure it puts a major dent battery life. We must note, however, that the new 2018 MacBook Air has a 2560×1600 resolution screen, while the standard has a 1920×1080 panel. We agree that in the standard configuration, it’s going to be a wash between these two laptops.
We’ve measured the at 13 hours of video run time using a local file, which is basically a tie, right?
The Core i5 is one of the fastest ultraportable laptops we’ve ever seen. We strongly suspect that even the cheapest Core i3 option in the cheapest XPS 13 will leave the new MacBook Air in the dust.Īpple claims about 13 hours of video run time using iTunes. No matter which CPU it uses, we can tell you with a high degree of certainty that the Core i5-8250U or the Core i7-8550U option in the XPS 13 will smoke the 2018 MacBook Air. Adam Patrick Murrayĭell’s is one of the fastest ultraportables we’ve ever seen, and a formidable rival to the new Macbook Air 13. Given that the CPU is a dual-core 8th-gen, it’s likely the CPU could be a relative of this unannounced Core i7-8510Y, which popped up in a performance database with Intel UHD 617 graphics. The only CPU detail we know about the MacBook Air is that it uses an “8th gen Core i5 dual-core.” That doesn’t say much, but Apple’s website says the graphics are Intel UHD 617, which doesn’t officially exist yet in Intel’s database. Although Dell still carries an older version, Dell gave the XPS 13 a major redesign with the XPS 13 9370, the one we’ll compare to the new Macbook Air.
