Drawbacks

The downside is that storage space is only 128GB. If you have lots of data, you'll have to use another way to save your files such as an Network-Attached Storage (NAS), external hard drive, or a cloud based solution. The 2014 Apple MacBook Air 13.3 4GB/256GB Sale does not have a Blu-ray/DVD drive also making it harder to install software from disks and watch movies. Lastly, the 11.6 inch MacBook air does not come with a SD card reader. Only the upgraded 13 inch MacBook air has a SD card reader.
