Introducing the new MacBook Air, the most mobile Mac in every way, shape, and
form. It features all-flash storage, a Multi-Touch trackpad, a long-lasting
battery, a high-resolution display, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and NVIDIA
graphics. All inside a unibody enclosure that's light, thin, and strong enough
to handle all your everyday tasks and then some, whether you're on the couch, in
a lecture hall, or at a conference. It's mobility mastered.
The Apple MacBook Air--light, thin, and strong enough to take with
you wherever you go.
This version of the MacBook Air sports an 11.6-inch high-resolution display,
1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 128 GB of flash memory storage, 2 GB of RAM,
an NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor, and up to 5 hours of battery life. It also comes with the
Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system as well as the iLife '11 software suite,
which includes the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand.

Key Features
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.
Glass Multi-Touch Trackpad
With the addition of the smooth, glass Multi-Touch trackpad previously found
on other MacBook models, the MacBook Air makes it even easier to navigate Mac OS
X 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.
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).

Intel Core 2 Duo Processing
Combining fast processing speeds with power-saving features, the Intel Core 2
Duo processor provides greater multitasking performance by combining two
independent processor cores while also reducing power requirements and saving on
battery life. This Intel Core 2 Duo processor has a 1.4 GHz processor speed,
fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and 3 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary,
cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your
system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster
front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)
High Performance Graphics
Powered by the NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics card, the MacBook Air allows you
to view flawless video in full screen HD and play the latest games with fast
frame rate. It's a great match to editing video masterpieces with iMovie and
managing your photos in iPhoto, and it comes with 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM that's
shared with main memory.
