The Air tries to make up for its color deficiency with brightness, emitting up to 336 nits. The Swift 7 (105 percent), ZenBook UX330UA (106 percent) and 12-inch MacBook (117 percent) all rated higher. Our colorimeter measured the MacBook Air as producing 71 percent of the sRGB spectrum, which is beneath the 100 percent category average and low for this price. It also powers the system if you choose to operate without a battery.Ĭompatible only with MacBook Air featuring MagSafe 2 power port.Even though Apple doesn't seem to believe the Air needs a Retina-level, or at least full-HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) display, I felt as if my eyes had gotten worse after using this machine for extended periods, as text on the screen doesn't look as sharp as it does on any of my personal devices. This power adapter recharges the lithium polymer battery while the system is off, on, or in sleep mode. An AC cord is provided with the adapter for maximum cord length, while the AC wall adapter (also provided) gives you an even easier and more compact way to travel.ĭesigned to be the perfect traveling companion, the adapter has a clever design which allows the DC cable to be wound neatly around itself for easy cable storage. When the connection is secure, an LED located at the head of the DC connector lights up an amber light lets you know that your notebook is charging, while a green light tells you that you have a full charge. In addition, the magnetic DC helps guide the plug into the system for a quick and secure connection. It also helps prevent fraying or weakening of the cables over time. The 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter features a magnetic DC connector so if someone should trip over it, the cord disconnects harmlessly and your MacBook Air stays put safely.
