Product DescriptionWith the MacBook Air, Apple has created the world's
thinnest laptop--measuring an unprecedented 0.16-inches at its
thinnest point (and 0.76 inches thick overall). Apple also introduces
its vaunted multi-touch technology, found on the iPhone, to its
laptops with the MacBook Air, enabling you to pinch, swipe, or rotate
to zoom in on text, advance through a photo album, or adjust an image
via the oversized trackpad.
Despite the its slender shell, the MacBook Air doesn't skimp on the
specifications. It includes a 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen
display, full-size and backlit keyboard, and a built-in iSight video
camera for video conferencing. The MacBook Air is powered by a custom-
built 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which provides an optimized,
multithreaded architecture for improved multitasking performance. And
this model is loaded with a 64 GB solid-state drive, which has no
moving parts for enhanced durability. Other features include 2 GB of
RAM, Wi-Fi connectivity via 802.11a/b/g/n standards, a micro-DVI video
output (with included adapters), and up to a 5-hour battery life.
It comes pre-loaded with Apple's Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating
system, which adds over 300 new features including easy backup of your
most im****tant data via Time Machine, a redesigned desktop that helps
eliminate clutter, and the newest version of the fast-loading Safari
web browser. It also comes with the iLife '08 suite of applications,
including iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, and iTunes.
Amazingly thin at just 0.16 inches at its thinnest and 0.76 inches at
its thickest point, the MacBook Air weighs just 3 pounds.
Apple's Thinnest Laptop Is Also Its Greenest
The MacBook Air embodies Apple's continuing environmental progress
with its aluminum enclosure, a material highly desired by recyclers;
Apple's first mercury-free LCD display with arsenic-free glass; and
brominated flame retardant-free material for the majority of circuit
boards as well as PVC-free internal cables. In addition, the MacBook
Air consumes the least amount of power of any Mac, and its retail box,
made primarily from 100 percent post-consumer recycled material, is 56
percent smaller by volume than the previously smallest MacBook
packaging.
Design
The thinness of MacBook Air is impressive, but even more impressive is
that fact that there's a full-size notebook encased in the 0.16 to
0.76 inch of sleek, sturdy anodized aluminum. This svelte, 3-pound
laptop has a vibrant, energy efficient 13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy
widescreen display, and its spacious trackpad offers multi-touch
gesture sup****t for pinch, rotate and swipe--making it more intuitive
than ever to browse and rotate photos or zoom into web pages in
Safari. It also features a full-size keyboard that's backlit, making
it ideal for dimly lit environments such as airplanes, studios or
conference halls. It includes a built-in ambient light sensor
automatically adjusts the brightness of the keys as well as the
display brightness for optimal visibility.
One of Apple's most celebrated innovations is the MagSafe power
adapter connector, which offers a magnetic connection instead of a
physical one. So, if you happen to trip over a power cord, you won't
send the MacBook Air flying off a table or desk--the cord simply
disconnects, without damage to either the cord or the system.
Optical Drive
Because of the amazingly thin design of the MacBook Air, an optical
(DVD/CD) drive was not included. To install software from a disc, you
can wirelessly use or "borrow" optical drives on remote PCs or Macs
using the Remote Disk feature. This allows you full access to an
optical drive without having to haul one around. If you want to have
an optical drive for burning CDs and DVDs, you can purchase the
optional MacBook Air SuperDrive (sold separately). This multi-format
CD/DVD read/write drive is powered by the MacBook Air's USB ****t,
eliminating the need to carry a separate power adapter.
Networking
The MacBook Air doesn't include wired Ethernet networking, and instead
relies solely on Wi-Fi to connect to your home network as well as
wireless hotspots. The built-in 802.11n wireless networking provides
up to five times the performance and twice the range of 802.11g, but
it's also backward-compatible with 802.11a/b/g routers, enabling you
to communicate with the a wide variety of Wi-Fi resources. It works
seamlessly with the optional Air****t Extreme base station as well as
Apple's Time Capsule Wi-Fi base station/hard drive--both of which
include 802.11n capabilities. If you don't have access to a wireless
network, you can use an optional USB Ethernet Adapter (sold
separately)
Use the built-in Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) wireless
technology to connect to your PDA or cell phone, synchronize
addresses, or download pictures from your cell phone. You can also use
a wireless headset for iChat audio chats and VoIP calls as well as
quickly share files with a colleague.
Video Conferencing with Built-in iSight
Artfully placed in the display bezel is an iSight camera, which
enables easy video conferencing as well as allows you to snap pictures
of yourself and create video podcasts. Using the iChat AV application,
video conferencing is integrated into your iChat buddy list, so
initiating a video conference is a breeze. iChat also lets you hold
audio chats with up to 10 people and provides high-quality audio
compression and full-duplex sound so conversation can flow naturally.
For video podcasting, you can record a short clip using the iSight
camera, then use iWeb to create a video blog entry or post your
GarageBand-recorded podcast.
Display and Graphics
The MacBook Air includes a vibrant 13.3-inch LED-backlit display and a
full-sized keyboard.
Whether you're working on a Keynote presentation or watching a movie
before you catch a flight, every do***ent, video, and photo on your
MacBook Air will look sharp on the glossy 13.3-inch widescreen
display. With pixel-perfect 1280-by-800 resolution, it's great for
viewing and working with media. Video is powered by the Intel Graphics
Media Accelerator X3100, which provides 144 MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared
with main memory. It features Intel Clear Video Technology, which
delivers outstanding video playback with sharper image quality,
increased clarity, and enhanced visual quality of interlaced content
on progressive displays.
Hard Drive and Memory
For storage, this MacBook Air comes with a 64 GB solid-state hard
drive. Faster and more reliable, solid memory provides a rapid boot-up
and quicker access to applications while improving battery life. It's
also more reliable than a hard disk drive because there are no moving
parts. Since data is written to stationary memory instead of a
spinning hard disk, you have less risk of hardware problems with the
hard disk when you're on the move. The 2 GB of PC5300 DDR2 RAM (two SO-
DIMMs of 1024 MB) has an industry-leading 667 MHz speed, and it
maximizes the capacity for this laptop.
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
Custom-built to fit within the compact dimensions of the laptop, the
MacBook Air is powered by a 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with a
super-fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and an enormous 4 MB of Smart
Cache, an L2 cache that can be shared between the cores as needed. (An
L2, or secondary, cache tem****arily stores data; and a larger L2 cache
can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data
between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver
better overall performance.)
The innovative now-you-see-it, now-you-don't ****t hatch flips down to
reveal (and closes to hide) all the ****ts you really need: a USB 2.0
****t, a headphone jack, and a micro-DVI ****t.
The Intel Core 2 Duo's 128-bit SSE3 vector engine handles 128-bit
computations in a single clock cycle, accelerating data manipulation
by simultaneously applying a single instruction to multiple data. And
its two execution cores are designed to share resources and conserve
power, helping it to achieve higher levels of performance since it
uses fewer watts. And with 4MB of shared L2 cache, the MacBook Air is
a multi-tasking monster. With such substantial L2 cache, data and
instructions can be kept close to the two processor cores, greatly
increasing performance and allowing the entire system to work more
efficiently. And, because the processor cores share the L2 cache,
either can use the entire amount if the other happens to be idle.
