The new MacBook Air is nearly as thin as your index finger. Practically every detail that could be streamlined has been. Yet it still has a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi-touch track pad. It’s incomparably portable without the usual ultraportable screen and keyboard compromises.
Amazingly thin. The thinness of MacBook Air is stirring. But perhaps more impressive, there’s a full-size notebook encased in the 0.16 to 0.76 inch of sleek, sturdy anodized aluminum. And at just 3.0 pounds, the MacBook Air is more than portable it can go everywhere you go. The glossy 13.3-inch, widescreen LED backlit MacBook Air display is the same viewable size as the screen on MacBook. The 1280-by-800 resolution gives you vibrant images and rich colors at full brightness from the moment you open it. So you get full screen performance with all the benefits of a slim design. The incredible thinness of MacBook Air is the result of numerous size and weight shaving innovations. From a slimmer hard drive to strategically hidden I/O ports to a lower profile battery, everything has been considered and reconsidered with thinness in mind.
Feature keyboard. The keyboard is full-size with crisp keys just like the ones on MacBook. But MacBook Air goes further by adding backlit key illumination, making it easy to work in low light settings such as airplanes and conference halls. A built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts keyboard and display brightness for optimal visibility. And with the oversize multi-touch track pad, it just keeps getting better for fingers.
Multi touch. MacBook Air includes an oversize track pad with multi-touch technology. You can pinch, swipe, or rotate to zoom in on text, advance through a photo album, or adjust an image. This gesture-based input so successful on iPhone and iPod touch now comes to MacBook. So you can enjoy fingering and feeling-up your MacBook just like on your iPod.
The MacBook Air comes with a 2GB of RAM built in ample memory for working with your favorite applications. The 80GB hard drive provides plenty of storage space. And you have the option to upgrade to a 64GB solid-state drive, which has no moving parts for enhanced durability. The MacBook Air performance is as impressive as its form, thanks to its 1.6GHz or 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. This chip was custom-built to fit within the compact dimensions of MacBook Air.
Built-in iSight camera. MacBook Air includes a built-in iSight camera. It’s so smartly integrated; you hardly notice it’s there. The iSight camera and iChat software make video chatting easy anywhere there’s a wireless network.
The MacBook Air battery is the thinnest ever, yet it doesn’t compromise power. You can access the web wirelessly for up to five hours.
MacBook Air is the notebook that allows for a fully wireless lifestyle. It all starts with the fastest-available, next-generation 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR built in. And that’s just the beginning of the unprecedented wireless capabilities of MacBook Air. The MacBook Air has shed something you no longer need: the optical drive. That’s because MacBook Air is built for the wireless world. So instead of watching DVDs, you can rent movies wirelessly from the iTunes Store. And instead of backing up files to a stack of discs, you can back up files wirelessly using Apple’s new Time Capsule. However, for those times when you still need to install software on MacBook Air from a CD or DVD, a new feature called Remote Disc lets you wirelessly use or “borrow” the optical drive of a Mac or PC in the vicinity. So you can have full access to an optical drive without having to haul one around.
I’ll be posting updates on the MacBook Air as new up-grades are available. For all other information go to Apple.com
