Apple 13" MacBook Air Core i5 Laptop

The new stunningly designed 13.3-inch Apple MacBook Air will speed through intensive applications and is 2.5 times faster than its predecessor, despite weighing little over 1kg. Featuring the latest Intel Core i5 processor and a whole host of great connectivity options, including a lighting fast thunderbolt port, the MacBook Air is your perfect partner for work, rest or play.

Key benefits:

• Your new MacBook Air will arrive with OS X Lion - the world’s most advanced desktop operating system; which has been further improved. New features include multi-touch gestures from your trackpad, allowing you to zoom, scroll left, right, up and down, quick launches for applications, easy switching between screens, full-screen apps, a Mac App Store, a handy Launchpad feature for easy access to your apps, Auto Save and AirDrop - a non-internet way to share files with other devices within 10 feet.

 

• The MacBook Air is incredibly thin and light thanks to its aluminium construction. Measuring just 1.7cm at its deepest point and weighing an astonishing 1.35kg, this laptop is perfect for taking on the road with you.

 

• The latest dual-core Intel Core i5 processor will handle whatever you throw at it, allowing you to multi-task and work on intensive applications without experiencing any lag. Applications run faster and more efficiently than before. So everything you normally do on a computer you can do even quicker. Send email, write reports, create presentations, touch up photos, edit home movies and all the little (and big) tasks in between.

 

• The 256GB all-flash storage will allow you store your photos, music and personal documents in the one place. Flash storage doesn’t have any moving parts, which means it’s more reliable and quiet. Lightning fast, durable, silent — qualities that make sense in a laptop tasked with keeping up with you.

 

• Expect to be delighted by the MacBook Air’s beautifully bright LED-backlit widescreen display. It’s 1440 x 900 so you’ll notice the finest of details on web content, movies or when gaming. Experience an immersive entertainment experience thanks to powerful stereo speakers which will get the most from your films, videos and music.

 

• MacBook Air also features Intel’s HD Graphics 3000 processor which includes an on-chip engine for video encoding and decoding. That means you experience video playback and FaceTime calls that are smoother, more responsive and truer to life.

 

• A built-in FaceTime camera will allow you to experience video calling in HD to any other device with FaceTime. This could be another MacBook or to someone’s iPhone 4 when connected to a Wi-Fi signal.

 

• Two USB 2.0 ports will allow you to connect peripheral items such as mice, printers or USB storage devices. The Thunderbolt port allows rapid transferring of files, so you’ll save time when trying to save large files in a hurry. With two 10-Gbps data channels, Thunderbolt lets you transfer data at rates up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0. Bluetooth 4.0 will allow you to connect to compatible devices within range, sharing libraries and playing media. Share your digital camera moments too with a useful SD memory card slot.

 

• The battery life is impressive also, lasting up to 7 hours when connected wirelessly to the web - allowing you to stray from a plug socket to attend meetings or sit in a more comfortable environment.

 

• Despite it′s size, the MacBook Air still packs a full-size keyboard that makes typing as natural as it is comfortable. And now the keyboard is backlit, so you can type with ease in even the dimmest light

 

• With the Mac App Store, getting the apps you want on your Mac has never been easier. No more boxes, no more discs, no more time-consuming installation. Click once to download and install any app on your Mac. But if an app you need isn’t available from the Mac App Store, you can use DVD or CD Sharing. This convenient feature of OS X lets you wirelessly ‘borrow’ the optical drive of a nearby Mac or PC. So, you’ll still be able to install applications from a DVD or CD and have full access to an optical drive without having to carry one around.
