Apple MacBook Air 11.6-inch

REVEIW

The Ist generation Apple MacBook Air launched back in 2008 won universal acclaim for its slim design but the device lacked good hardware chops.3 Era on and the slimmest, smallest MacBook Air ever borrows the same svelte design from its predecessor but now packs a powerful performance punch with the new Sandy Bridge Intel Core i5 processor, 4 GB of RAM and a 128GB of SSD.

                                                 The Company offers two more variants - a cheaper model featuring the same Core i5 processor but with 2 GB of RAM (Expandable to 4 GB) and 64 GB SSD or a higher end model featuring a Core i7 with 4 GB of RAM and 256 GB SSD. Let’s see with new SCREEN SIZE the 11-inch MacBook Air.

FEATURES
         The biggest change on the Apple MacBook Air comes in the form of the system’s internal hardware. The device is now powered by Intel’s new Sandy Bridge Core i5-2567M processor running at 1.6-GHz. An additional 4 GB of RAM, in-built Intel HD Graphics 3000 and 128GB SSD completes the basic spec sheet. The 11-inch screen has a native resolution of 1366 x 768; we have absolutely no complaints here as the screen is quite bright and boasts of better-than-average viewing angles.

                     

                                     A major disappointment of the MacBook Air -- or for that matter any ultra-thin laptop standing a few millimetres tall -- is its lack of connectivity ports. The 11-inch model gets only two USB 2.0 ports, one each on either side. A MagSafe power port, a headphone jack and a microphone fill the left side of the device, while just a Thunderbolt port along with the aforementioned USB 2.0 port fills the right side. Wireless connectivity is taken care of by Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0. As is evident, the 11-inch MacBook Air is one for the truly mobile consumer.

                                         

                                     The Trackpad supports a whole list of multi-finger gestures that are now incorporated on the Mac OS X 10.7 Lion operating system which is bundled natively with every new MacBook Air. You might take sometime to remember each of these gesture based commands but once mastered it saves a lot of time while doing various tasks and the experience becomes highly intuitive.

Another biggie is the inclusion of backlight for the keyboard. Not only do the keys light up but also the labels on the keys come to life.More Things That, the MacBook Air features an ambient light senor that automatically adjusts the brightness of the display as well as the keyboard. Working in the dark never seemed better, the backlighting works like a charm.

Design and Build
  It is as thick as 0.11-inch at its thinnest point and 0.68-inches at its thickest. It weighs a mere 1.08 kg. What has changed though is the keyboard, whilst the key placements remain same, the keyboard sees new tag for the F3 and F4 buttons that display the new features of the Mac OS X Lion. Further, the F5 and F6 button helps you control the backlighting of the keyboard is the specaility.

                    The 11-inch MacBook Air’s trackpad is big and very responsive and the clickable buttons are easy to press and subtle with their sound. The full sized keyboard offers great tactile feedback and the spread out chiclet style keys make typing blazing fast.
