The new MacBook Air, let’s take a moment to talk about iPad. When we created the iPad, we pioneered many new technologies that have become the product’s signature.
Solid state storage - The iPad stores all of its contents in solid state memory. There are no moving parts and this solution is very responsive and energy efficient. Because we use flash storage, we’re able to provide a device that powers on instantly.
Instant on - The solid state storage allows for the system to be very responsive. When you’re ready to use it, press the Home button and it’s on.
Amazing standby time - The solid state storage is a very energy-efficient solution which allows the iPad to maintain its battery charge for long periods of time.
No optical/HD - We live in a wireless world where we can surf the web, email, download movies and songs, and install software all without wires or physical media.
Apple pioneered the precision aluminum unibody in 2008 with the MacBook Air then brought the technology to the entire MacBook Pro line.
This process involves taking a solid piece of aluminum and machining it down to a thin, seamless enclosure with the frame and structure built in. We have expanded this build process across all of our notebooks, and customers love the design. For the first time, Apple has applied the unibody design to the display. The result is a display that integrates all the structural components and contains 48% fewer parts. With less parts, the display is more durable and razor thin.
The new MacBook Air provides a full mobile experience. Both the 11-inch and 13-inch models feature a robust Intel Core 2 Duo processor, the latest NVIDIA integrated graphics, and Apple’s new custom flash storage.
At the heart of the MacBook Air is the Core 2 Duo processor. Let’s take a closer look.
The new MacBook Air comes standard with 2GB of fast DDR3 memory.
Couple the robust Core 2 Duo and up to 4GB of RAM, you have a system ready to take on complex daily tasks with ease.
Note that the memory on MacBook Air is not an upgradeable module.
Every Mac comes with 90 days of telephone technical support and one year of service coverage at an Apple-authorised repair centre. By purchasing the AppleCare Protection Plan with your Mac, you can extend your coverage to three years from the computer’s purchase date. We recommend that you purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan when you purchase your computer to take maximum advantage of the coverage the plan provides.
