I have been reading reviews and posts about the MacBook Airs. I bought the 11" because I really wanted the 16 x 9 screen. Is the 13" version 16 x 9 also?
 
The 13.3 is 16:10, which was the standard for Apple computers for years. Now it looks like they are slowly moving to 16x9 (like the iMac and 11.6 Macbook Air).

It is a matter of preference, since Apple usually adds more pixels in the make up for the ratio loss (except in the 27" Cinema Display).

Thanks. I really like the 16x9 but am thinking I should have gotten the higher res 13". Another thing to puzzle on🙂
