MacBook Air Review
At first glance,
Computer manufacturers have responded positively to our requests for laptops that are as functional as possible. Too often, however, the results are machines that save desk space, but are not as convenient to carry or prop in her lap, as its name implies. Apple has become the main purpose of a laptop – portability – and presented its light and thin MacBook Air.
In describing the Mac, there’s always a chance that words like “elegant” and “elegant” seems too often, but when you arrive first through a MacBook Air, no one can blame if these words come to mind. “I want people to see me with it” is the kind of thing that can cover the head. The MacBook Air is elegant: it is only 4 mm (1 / 6 inches) in front, reduced to a mere OUT 19mm (3 / 4 inches) at its deepest point. It is also robust: the aluminum case ensures that thinness is not weakness.
Collect the MacBook Air and appreciate more what Apple has done. At 1. 36 kg (3 pounds), the Apple MacBook Air won their previous light, 2. 26 kg (5 pounds) MacBook.
With the weight as a fall, one can not help but wonder if we will open the MacBook Air to find a small display that makes you squint and keyboard finger groups. The reality is 13. 3-inch widescreen display and a full-size keyboard. Moreover, a trackpad complete these large to give a general impression that it is a laptop that is both practical and a pleasure to use.
The technology of the MacBook Air
Needless to say, Apple had to abandon some of the technological capabilities to a laptop that is thin and has paid a lot of weight. Or not? You always get an Intel Core 2 Duo or the other 1. 6GHz or 1. 8 GHz with 2 GB of memory for both. You also have a 80GB hard drive 4200 rpm for 1. 6GHz models, 64GB solid state disk 1. 8GHz, and was built in 802. 11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2. 1 + EDR. These specifications are easily good enough for mobile applications every day.
Hardware
The material includes the MacBook Air
Tucked away in a proper trap on the right side of the MacBook Air are also three ports:
One concern is the possible physical USB port. By itself as a port is rarely enough, so if you are connecting a serial device at the same time, you need a USB hub. On the micro-DVI port, the MacBook Air comes with adapters for VGA and DVI helpful for improving connectivity options.
You may have noticed now a hardware failure and the MacBook Air lacks an optical drive. Instead, Apple offers an external 8x SuperDrive. If you need depends on your use of CDs and DVDs. Another option is to use the Apple Remote Disc for the MacBook Air is connected to a network and linkages with the optical drive of another Mac or PC.
Remote Disc is very useful because the software is installed and gives you access to files. Unfortunately, you can read and write CD and DVD remote. When you want music or watch a movie or TV show, you should use iTunes. If you already have an iPod, this is not exactly a restriction.
Software
Apple Remote Disc included with the usual software package MacBook Air. This software comes with excellent Mac OS X v10. 5 Leopard operating system and offers everything you expect from any other Mac Plus, you can quickly navigate and manage the software with sensitive functions in the MacBook Air trackpad.
Battery
The MacBook Air battery can provide up to five hours of continuous service. Once he dies, however, you may have a problem. The MacBook Air is incorporated into the battery can not replace fully charged. Their only alternative is to find a way out of the MagSafe power adapter, an option not always available if you are traveling.
The performance of the MacBook Air
For standard maintenance tasks such as email, write and surf the Internet, no significant difference was found between the speed of a MacBook and the MacBook Air more powerful. Some people may worry about the size of the chips smaller and relatively slow speed of hard drives in two models of MacBook Air compared to other Apple notebooks. What you have to do, however, is why you want the MacBook Air. Complex graphics applications, for example, is likely to exhaust the capacity of the processor, but again, if you have this type of use in mind, you probably have a MacBook Pro anyway.
The fact is that the MacBook Air is a truly portable all-purpose laptop performs daily work fine. For most of us, is precisely what we want.
