Even if this is a simple typo, I see too many articles on computer-related topics written by reporters who clearly don't understand fully what they're writing about.
It is not a simple typo, it demonstrates both a lack of comprehension AND the inability to do the minimum amount of research. And the failure of the editor to submit the article for any sort of technical review. Ignoring the Hz vs Byte stupidity for a moment...
The base model MBA comes with 4GB of RAM. so the author's recommendation to ensure you get at least 4GB of RAM is kind of idiotic. At least he could have spent 30 sec and browsed to Apple's website to find out the minimum specs.
So if he didn't research that basic bit of information, it means that he probably made everything else up as well.

The main difference between the 11-inch and 13-inch units is that the 13-inch unit has an SD card slot on the rear right of the unit.
Really? Cause I think the main difference is the screen dimensions and the size/weight of the case.
Deadline must have been ticking, and he filled his column with drivel.
