I flew last week and they announced that if anyone had a "MacBook Pro Air" they should make the cabin crew aware and keep it turned off. This was while we were in the air. No checks before boarding.
 
I flew twice this week and never heard an announcement, or saw a sign regarding the ban. However, I did not use mine in flight, so don't know what instructions the cabin crews have been given.
