Both are light, but that's 170g saving for the new model. The MacBook weighs only 920g compared to 1080g of the MacBook Air 11. The MacBook measures 280.5 x 196.5mm compared to 300 x 192mm of the Air 11, so the new model is slightly narrower, but a little deeper. The MacBook is 13.1mm thick at its fattest part (the hinge), whereas the MacBook Air 11 is 17mm, so that's a healthy reduction in size. You knew the new MacBook was thinner and lighter, but the difference is impressive. Not only that, but Apple claims that it is 30 per cent more efficient than previous displays, so you'll get the same brightness for less energy. That's quite a difference in terms of pixel density, meaning the new MacBook will be much sharper than the MacBook Air 11.

The MacBook Air 11-inch has an 11.6-inch display with 1366 x 768 pixel resolution 171ppi, so it's softer than the new MacBook. It has a 12-inch display with a resolution of 2304 x 1440 pixels, 226ppi.

So how does Cupertino's latest stack up against it's last ultra portable model? We've crunched the stats for your easy digestion. The small format sees it trimmed down in all directions, smaller than Apple's previous diminutive notebook, the MacBook Air 11-inch, which also received a tweak in today's announcement. It revives the MacBook name, which used to be the entry-level notebook device. (Pocket-lint) - Apple has announced a new MacBook at its Spring forward special event, a device that Phil Schiller, Apple VP, said was designed for "extreme portability".
