The beauty of unibody.
MacBook Air
is carved from a solid sheet of aluminium. This revolutionary unibody design replaces many parts with just one and results in a clean, seamless appearance.
The anodised aluminium surface and stunning contours confirm MacBook Air
as a feat of beautiful engineering.
MacBook Air
Amazingly thin. Amazingly full size.
The thinness of MacBook Air is stirring. But even more impressive, there’s a full-size, fully capable notebook encased in the 0.4 to 1.94 cm of sleek, sturdy anodised aluminium. And at just 1.36kg1 MacBook Air is more than portable. It’s with you everywhere you go.
A no-compromise display.
The moment you open MacBook Air, you’re greeted by instant full screen brightness. Its slim design doesn’t compromise on size: The glossy 13.3-inch, widescreen LED-backlit MacBook Air display
offers the same viewable size as the screen on the new 13-inch MacBook Pro
.
The 1280-by-800 resolution gives you vibrant images and rich colours, making it perfect for watching your own in-flight movies. And LED technology makes the display more power efficient, which translates into longer battery life.
Full-size, full-feature keyboard.
The keyboard is full size and its backlit keys make it easy to work in the dim lighting of airplanes and conference halls. A built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts keyboard illumination and display brightness for optimal visibility.
And with the spacious trackpad and support for Multi-Touch technology, you can get a lot done with a simple gesture or two.
Flat-out faster.
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor in MacBook Air
was designed to fit within the computer’s compact dimensions. Now it delivers speeds not usually found in ultraportable notebooks
, thanks to a faster Intel Core 2 Duo running at 1.86GHz or 2.13GHz. And with a 1066MHz frontside bus, 2GB of DDR3 memory and 6MB of L2 cache, MacBook Air provides the power for you to be as productive in the air as you are in the office.
A powerful graphics boost.
The NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor
brings amazing, high-speed graphics to MacBook Air
. With up to 6x the graphics performance of the original model, you’ll notice a dramatic improvement in most applications.2 Photos appear in iPhoto more quickly. Keynote transitions occur seamlessly. Games play more smoothly. And movie and video playback is better than ever. No other ultraportable offers performance as impressive in such a slim design.
A smart LED display.
The spacious 13.3-inch widescreen LED-backlit display provides instant full screen brightness the moment you open MacBook Air. LED technology also makes it more power efficient, which translates to long battery life. And since this display is mercury-free with arsenic-free glass, it’s as easy on the environment as it is on the eyes.
Slim battery - Robust performance.
Up to 5 hours of wireless productivity.
Like everything in MacBook Air, the battery doesn’t compromise power for portability. You can access the web wirelessly for up to 5 hours.3
Room for everything.
SSD
With a 120GB hard drive, MacBook Air provides plenty of room for work, play and whatever happens in between. Or choose the MacBook Air with a 128GB solid-state drive.4 With no moving parts, solid-state drives offer enhanced durability and use less energy.
A touch of brilliance.
