To be fair, that's not unusual among ultraportables, but it's worth considering when first ordering. If you think you'll want more flash, or more memory, or the faster processor, then you need to go for it from the outset, since there's no upgrade option down the line. Unlike in previous years, there's no 64GB option on the 11-inch Air, and both versions can be configured to 256GB (as with our review unit) or 512GB.įitting all that into a notebook of the Air's dimensions demands a few compromises, and as before the biggest is the absence of user-upgradable components.
