MacBook Air
Thin, light,urable. Thank you flash storage:
Even at less than an inch thin, MacBook Air sets a pretty high standard — by making flash storage standard. Flash chips are very compact, allowing MacBook Air to be incredibly thin and light. Flash is also solid state, meaning there are no moving parts. Which makes it reliable, durable and quiet. And it takes up much less space — about 90 per cent less, in fact. That creates room for other important things, like a bigger battery. So you have a notebook that weighs almost nothing and runs for hours on a single charge. That’s mobility mastered.
The best way to multi-touch on a notebook:
Multi-Touch technology is part of practically every Apple product. It’s the best and most personal way to interact with your devices. And the optimal way to experience Multi-Touch on a notebook is through a trackpad. That’s precisely the case with MacBook Air. The trackpad’s spacious, all-glass surface doesn’t have a button because the whole thing is the button. And with Multi-Touch gestures in OS X Mountain Lion, you can interact with MacBook Air in ways that feel more intuitive and responsive than ever before.
MacBook Air Feature Overview
A Battery that can get you through the day. And the monthIf you looked inside MacBook Air, you’d see something remarkable: how much space we devoted to the battery. That’s thanks to smaller components such as flash storage. And when the goal is to design the perfect notebook for everyday use, giving priority to the battery just makes sense. With MacBook Air, you can get up to five hours of battery life on the 11-inch model and up to seven hours on the 13-inch model. Put MacBook Air to sleep for more than an hour, and it enters what’s called standby mode.* That means you can come back to MacBook Air a day, a week — even up to an entire month — later, and it wakes in an instant. Time is on your side, courtesy of MacBook Air.
A thing of beauty and durability.
MacBook Air features a unibody design for both the main enclosure and the display. Unibody construction means a higher-precision, less complex design with fewer parts. And that translates to a notebook that’s exceptionally thin and light, yet durable enough to handle the rigours of everyday use

MacBook Air Feature Overview
The latest Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and graphics.
The latest Intel Core i5 and i7 processors give MacBook Air plenty of power. An optional Intel Core i7 processor gives you up to 2.0GHz of processing power and Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.2GHz. That, along with faster 1600MHz DDR3L memory, means you’re able to do all the things you love to do on a computer much quicker. Send email, surf the web, and share photos and home movies much faster than before. And with the Intel HD Graphics 4000 processor, you get up to 60 per cent faster graphics.1 So the video you watch, the FaceTime calls you make and pretty much everything else you do is smoother and more detailed.
Faster memory.
MacBook Air now features up to 8GB of faster 1600MHz DDR3L memory. That’s twice the memory of the previous-generation MacBook Air. Combine that with powerful processors and faster flash storage and you get a notebook that can run more memory-intensive applications at the same time — without compromising performance
Faster all-flash storage.
Hard drive Flash storage 4x From the moment you start up MacBook Air, you realise this is exactly how a notebook should perform. Much of that is thanks to flash storage. But we’ve taken the performance even further by doubling the maximum storage capacity to 512GB and adding next-generation flash storage that’s even faster. So it’s up to four times faster than a traditional 5,400-rpm notebook hard drive and faster than the previous-generation MacBook Air.2 Apps launch quickly. Files and documents open faster. And even after a month in standby mode, MacBook Air wakes in an instant.
High-speed Thunderbolt and USB 3.
