Product Description : Apple MacBook Air MC504LL/A

The 13.3" MacBook Air Notebook Computer from Apple is an extremely portable, stunningly designed laptop computer. Apple's engineers have leveraged the lessons they learned in designing the miniaturized iPad and applied them to the design of this 2.9-pound computer. The original MacBook Air's slim profile was made possible due to the lack of an optical drive. This system eschews the hard drive as well - opting instead for 256GB of flash storage - resulting in an even slimmer profile.When closed, the computer is only 0.68" at its thickest point. Flash storage doesn't just give you a lighter, thinner computer. It also allows for impressive battery life - up to 7 hours of web browsing and an amazing 30 days of standby time! The MacBook Air is housed in an aluminum unibody enclosure, which is as strong as it is light. Because it is cut from a solid block of aluminum, the housing is stronger than those found on laptops built via traditional means.The computer's high-resolution display makes working on the go a breeze. At 13.3" in size, the 16:10 display feature a native resolution of 1440 x 900 - equal to that of the 15.4" MacBook Pro! It features a glossy finish and a LED backlight for enhanced image quality and energy efficiency. Computers in the MacBook Air's weight class are most often classified in the "netbook" category. Netbooks typically feature less-than-full-size keyboards, cramped trackpads and low-powered CPUs. Not so with the MacBook Air.

I bought the Mac Air 256 GB version from Apple for my wife-to-be who does computer intensive work with picture editing of the cellular level pics they takes for her research. For those truly interested in this machine ignore the rabid frothing that the Mac hatters spout about the Core two Duo processor. Computer speed is not solely dependent on increasing processor speed. The speed slowdown in today's computers is occurring because of memory & basically increasing processor speed does not make up for all of this. Fortunately, Apple has realized this in the design of the Mac Air. In case you do a small digging for objective knowledge you will find that Apple did not go with the i-series processors because of size & the inferior graphics that is integrated with the i-series processors. I have been waiting to get her a new computer & when the upgrade to the Mac air came out Apple macbook pro specs was an simple decision.
