The MacBook Air from Apple is thin. Really, really thin. In designing this ultraportable notebook Apple decided to sacrifice neither usability nor style. The laptop, which weighs only three pounds, is housed in a sleek aluminum shell. It features a full-sized notebook keyboard, complete with an ambient light sensor and backlit keys. The computer is designed to meet the needs of professionals who demand an ultraportable computer.
The MacBook Air is powered by the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. The Core 2 Duo is actually two processors built into a single chip, which delivers much better performance than a single processor chip. The computer is loaded with a 80GB 4200rpm PATA hard drive, 2GB of RAM, Airport Extreme wireless networking, integrated Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, a built-in speaker, and an integrated iSight webcam with microphone. The computer features a beautiful glossy 13" widescreen display that delivers a bright and clear image.
All this hardware runs on Apple's OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system with Rosetta technology. This allows you to seamlessly run legacy applications as well as Universal Binaries that have been designed to run on both PowerPC and Intel chips, making the MacBook Air a great choice for your home, office, or college dorm.
