Macbook Air reviews
It is part of the MacBook family and features an optional solid-state hard drive. Apple CEO Steve Jobs revealed the MacBook Air at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 15, 2008. It weighs 3.0 pounds (1.36 kg) and is 0.76 inches (1.93 cm) thick at its thickest point and 0.16 inches (0.4 cm) at its thinnest, making it the thinnest notebook currently in production.
To reduce the computer's size and weight, Apple omitted certain features long standard on its laptops. It is Apple's first notebook since the PowerBook 2400c without a built-in removable media drive. Users may purchase an external USB SuperDrive, or use bundled Remote Disc software to access the optical drive of another computer.
It lacks a security slot and an Ethernet port, although a USB-to-Ethernet adapter may be purchased separately. Some have complained about the omission of these features.[attribution needed] In addition, the Macbook Air only offers a single USB port (several USB ports are standard on nearly all laptops today). The Macbook Air also offers no Cardbus or ExpressCard slots, both standard features in older and newer laptops, respectively.
The CPU is an Intel Core 2 Duo chip specially redesigned for the MacBook Air, thus reducing the chip's physical size by 60 percent.
The laptop has the magnetic latch system of the MacBook and an aluminum casing like the MacBook Pro. The oversized trackpad offers iPhone-like Multi-Touch gestures, an improvement over previous MacBook trackpads. Among the gestures are pinching, swiping, and rotating.
The MacBook Air is pre-loaded with Mac OS X v10.5, which includes Time Machine, Quick Look, Spaces, Spotlight, Dashboard, Mail, iChat, Safari, Address Book, QuickTime, iCal, DVD Player, Photo Booth, Front Row, iTunes, and Xcode Developer Tools. It comes with iLife '08, which includes iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, and GarageBand.
