Apple Macbook Air 11.6-Inch Laptop
(MC968)
·
Flash Memory Storage
By replacing the standard spinning hard drive
typically found in laptops (as well as desktop PCs) with flash memory, the
MacBook Air delivers an almost instantaneous boot-up when you open the display,
as well as faster application launches and snappier overall performance.
Additionally, Apple has shed the enclosure that typically surrounds flash
memory (usually about the same size as a standard hard drive), thus giving it a
smaller footprint and helping to decrease the size of the MacBook Air.
The ultimate do-everything, take-everywhere notebook.
·
Revolutionary Thunderbolt Technology
Developed by Intel with collaboration from Apple,
high-speed Thunderbolt I/O (input/output) technology delivers an amazing 10
gigabits per second of transfer speeds in both directions. Built into the
MacBook Air, the Thunderbolt port allows you to connect to new
Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals as well as existing USB and FireWire
peripherals using simple adapters. You’ll be able to move data up to 20 times
faster than with USB 2.0 and more than 12 times faster than with FireWire 800,
and you can daisy-chain up to six high-speed devices without using a hub.
Thunderbolt also supports DisplayPort for high resolution displays and works
with existing adapters for HDMI, DVI, and VGA displays.
·
Glass Multi-Touch Trackpad and Backlit Keyboard
With the smooth, glass Multi-Touch trackpad, the
MacBook Air makes it easy to navigate OS X Lion and your software applications.
You can pinch, swipe or rotate images on the display screen with the brush of
two fingers, or add more digits for a four-fingered vertical swipe to open
Expose and quickly glance at all of your open windows.
Spacious, full-sized keyboard with backlighting
In spite of its compact size, the MacBook Air has a
full-size keyboard for comfortable, natural typing, and it’s backlit so you can
keep typing in even the dimmest light.
·
Integrated FaceTime Webcam
You’ll be able to easily connect with friends, family,
and business colleagues using the MacBook Air’s FaceTime camera, which is
integrated into the thin bezel above the display. And with Apple’s FaceTime
application, you’re not limited to video chats with other Macs--you can now
make video calls to iPhone and iPod touch users (Wi-Fi connection required for
mobile users).

Features
Intel Core i5
Dual-Core Processing
The MacBook Air packs plenty of power thanks to the
latest Intel Core i5 processor, which features a faster processor, more
powerful graphics, and a memory controller integrated into a single chip. The
third-generation dual-core Intel Core i5 has a 1.7 GHz speed, which can
dynamically accelerate up to 2.6 GHz to match your workload thanks to updated
Intel Turbo Boost Technology.
And with the Intel HD Graphics 4000 processor, you get
up to 60 percent faster graphics. So the video you watch, the FaceTime calls
you make, and pretty much everything else you do is smoother and more detailed.
The
spacious, full-sized keyboard.
·
High-speed Thunderbolt and USB 3 Ports
A high-speed Thunderbolt port allows the MacBook Air
to transfer data at lightning-fast speeds and connect displays like the Apple
Thunderbolt Display, enabling you to turn this highly portable notebook into a
highly versatile workstation. And with two USB 3 ports, you’ll be able to
connect the latest USB 3 devices and access a pipeline that’s up to 10 times
faster than USB.
Because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort
technology, you’ll be able to connect to a high-resolution display from the
same port. Any Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port,
and you can also connect displays that use DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA
connections with an existing adapter. You’ll also be able to include your
display into a daisy-chained set of peripherals.

do on MacBook Air more intuitive, direct, and fun. You can pinch, swipe or
rotate images on the display screen with the brush of two fingers, or add more
digits for a four-fingered vertical swipe to open Expose and quickly glance at
all of your open windows.
·
Integrated HD FaceTime Webcam
You’ll be able to easily connect with friends, family,
and business colleagues using the MacBook Air’s HD 720p FaceTime camera, which

application, you’re not limited to video chats with other Macs--you can now
make video calls to iPhone and iPod touch users.
·
Backlit Keyboard
The MacBook Air manages to fit a full-size keyboard
that makes typing as natural as it is comfortable. And the keyboard is backlit,
so you can type with ease in even the dimmest light. A built-in ambient light
sensor detects changes in lighting conditions and adjusts the display and
keyboard brightness automatically.
