Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
In addition to the announcement of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion during yesterday's presentation Apple also introduced two new models of MacBook Air: a 13.3-inch screen and 11.6-inch. like expected, laptops implemented in Unibody format.
Because Apple had decided to make a series of Air laptops even smaller, the unit lost a traditional HDD, which can been replaced by flash memory chips. Among other innovations is to provide a fairly powerful graphics Nvidia GeForce 320M adapter, a slot for SD-memory cards (in the 13.3-inch model), and two USB ports.
iSight camera in the new MacBook Air was renamed in FaceTime camera, although it is unlikely that something has changed in the technical plan. Also used in stereo.
In laptop with 11.6 inch diagonal display resolution is 1366 × 768 dots, and 13.3-inch - 1440 × 900 pixels. Weight novelties - 1 and 1.3 kg respectively.
the battery capacity should be given special attention. Thus, 13.3-inch MacBook Air is able to operate 7 hours active use. In standby mode it can remain without charging for a whole month. Model with a diagonal of 11.6 inches display operates in the active use of 5 hours and in the standby mode - the same 30 days. If necessary, the battery can be replaced by a new one that costs $ 129.
The starting price for the MacBook Air - $ 1000. However, if desired, the user can select the desired packaging it for the right price. Thus, the 11.6-inch model with a 1.4-gigahertz processor Core2Duo and 64GB drive will cost those same $ 1,000. For $ 1,200 you can get a model with twice as capacious SSD with the same processor. The 13.3-inch MacBook Air comes with a 1.86-gigahertz chip and a storage capacity of 128 GB at the price of $ 1,300. It is possible to increase the amount of disk space to 256GB, and is willing to cost an extra $ 300. All units come with 2 GB of DDR3 memory, but by paying $ 100, its volume can be increased by half, which can not but rejoice. For many, limited to 2 GB RAM in the Air was the reason for not purchasing the laptop in favor of the 13.3-inch MacBook Pro. I should add that all prices are relevant for the USA. they obviously will be higher in the native land.
P.S. New Macbook Air shipped without installed Flash-plugin.
