Apple MacBook Air 13 2017 笔记本电脑 (1.8 GHz) 简短评测

Name: Apple MacBook Air 13.3" 1.8 GHz (2017)
Brand: Apple

老骥伏枥。 可能有些难以置信，不过Apple的MacBook Air 13（一体式铝合金机身设计，1.35千克，17毫米厚，13.3寸，1440x900像素分辨率屏幕）已经有7年的历史了。它一度走在超极本的最前沿，但现在更像是广受敬爱的老爷爷了。

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
28.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 18.4 ms rise
28.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 10 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 74 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (20.3 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
52.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 30.4 ms rise
52.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 22 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 89 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (31.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

58000 Hz

The display backlight flickers at 58000 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) .

The frequency of 58000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8167 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Pros

+ 高品质

+ 不错的无线模组速度

+ 低负载下几乎无噪音

+ 不错的音响效果

+ 不错的电池续航

+ 16:10屏幕比例

Cons

- 尺寸相对较大

- 非常有限的升级空间和维护空间

- TN面板可视角度范围较窄

- 屏幕反光较强

- 低分辨率

- 性价比有限

一年又一年，MacBook Air依然保持着不变的样貌。最近几年笔记本电脑设计的常见大幅改进，如更高的屏幕分辨率，更薄的屏幕边框，同尺寸机身搭配更大屏幕等等，都被Air视而不见。因此我们也并不吃惊它的更新并不像MacBook 12一样得到了聚光灯关注。很明显，MacBook Air不再是一台“拿得出手”的设备，也与目前的Apple产品线有些格格不入。

新MacBook Air 13的最大问题依然是屏幕。搭配低分辨率的TN屏幕，它给人一种明显过时的感受。在2017年，一台售价达到1000美元的笔记本电脑至少应该搭配全高清分辨率的IPS屏幕。它搭配128GB固态硬盘机型的999美元如果说性价比较低的话，那么搭配256GB硬盘机型贵出的200美元售价简直就是抢劫。

不论如何，在这么多年之后Air的基本理念仍然有其亮点。一个做工精良的高品质铝合金机身结合了不错的输入设备；优秀的无线模组速度；对于日常使用来说十分优秀的整体性能；超过10小时的续航时间；同时在运行中异常安静。甚至是在2017年做到所有这些方面仍然值得赞扬。

时间一年一年飞逝而过，Air的性价比也显得越来越低。不过考虑到各个方面，MacBook Air 13 2017依然是一款很不错的笔记本电脑。如果相比Windows你更喜欢MacOS的话，它是进入Apple世界的最低价门票。同时MacBook Air也不太可能在接下来的2018年再次得到更新，Apple已经给我们带来了不少的惊喜…
