When I was using my macbook pro 2 years ago there was only the panic

I was wondering if there have been any improvements since then, is

Thanks,

Hi, I have not yet seen the new macbook air models, does anyone know how
they achieve the smaller size of the 11 inch model?
Do they make the keyboard smaller, smaller keys or less room between
them, i guess the 11 inch model is not as wide as the 13 inch so they
have to size down something, rig

Hi Annouk,
Actually, that was one of the amazing things about the 11 inch. There's a
little less room around the sides and the front, but they did not compromise
the keyboard.
