Therefore, the stability is exceptionally good despite the thin build of the base unit and the display lid.

What's new is that the display lid is now also manufactured using the unibody process, which leads to a higher level of stability. The case of the small 11 inch MacBook Air is made out of a single piece of aluminum just like the bigger 'Pro' models. Since this becomes even thinner towards the edges, the whole laptop appears to be even slimmer from the sides. The general impression is dominated primarily by the thin build of the case. The currently usual high gloss surfaces or imprinted patters cannot be found on the aluminum Apple notebooks. Due to the abundant use of aluminum the Air feels cool and high tech. Just take extra special care when you do so.The small subnotebook is appealing thanks to its simple and timeless design. That said, it’s entirely possible to clean the dust from your MacBook yourself. It’s all too easy to cause permanent damage to your MacBook while doing this, so you should probably hire a professional. This involves opening the laptop enclosure and exposing all the delicate inner-workings. If your Mac is older and the fans spin up a lot more than they used to, you may want to go a step further and clean it out. This is ideal if you combine your MacBook with a monitor and keyboard, so you can keep the cooler off to the side.

If you use your MacBook Air at home most of the time, getting a decent laptop cooler could be the simplest solution to avoid overheating issues.

Instead, they prop your MacBook up and use additional fans to encourage better ventilation. It’s a last resort, particularly for such a stylish machine, but sometimes you have to bite the bullet and buy a laptop cooler for your MacBook Air.
