Product DescriptionThe MacBook Air features fourth-generation Intel Core processors with stunning graphics, ultrafast flash storage, great built-in apps, and all-day battery life.* It's thin, light, and durable enough to take everywhere you go — and powerful enough to do everything once you get there. 
The MacBook Air with 13.3-inch screen gives you up to 12 hours of battery life (view larger).
This 13.3-inch model of the MacBook Air (MD760LL/B) sports up to 12 hours of battery life, a 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 dual-core processor (with a Turbo Boost of up to 2.7 GHz), 128 GB of flash memory storage, and 4 GB of RAM (see full specifications below). It also includes both a high-speed Thunderbolt port and two USB 3 ports, enabling you to easily connect to external displays and a wide variety of high performance peripherals. The MacBook Air is powered by OS X Mavericks, the world's most advanced operating system and built to bring out the best in your Mac. And the MacBook Air comes pre-loaded with the latest version of the iLife software suite (iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand) as well as the iWork productivity suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote). Up to 12 Hours of Battery LifePower through your whole work day with the 13-inch MacBook Air, which delivers up to 12 hours of battery life — more time power for word processing, presentations, email, and more. The increase is due to a larger battery (thanks to the compact all-flash storage in the MacBook Air) and the new power-efficient Intel Core processor architecture. Put the MacBook Air to sleep for more than 3 hours, and it enters standby mode to conserve battery life for up to 30 days. 
The MacBook Air — available in 11.6-inch and 13-inch models (view larger).
802.11ac: The New Definition of FastThe MacBook Air supports ultrafast 802.11ac Wi-Fi. When connected to an 802.11ac base station — including the new AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule — wireless performance is up to three times faster than with the previous generation of MacBook Air. And your Wi-Fi range improves as well. Flash Memory StorageBy replacing the standard spinning hard drive typically found in laptops (as well as desktop PCs) with flash memory, the MacBook Air delivers an almost instantaneous boot-up when you open the display, as well as faster application launches and snappier overall performance. Additionally, Apple has shed the enclosure that typically surrounds flash memory (usually about the same size as a standard hard drive), thus giving it a smaller footprint and helping to decrease the size of the MacBook Air. Fourth-Generation Intel Core i5 Dual-Core ProcessingThe ultra-efficient architecture of the fourth-generation Intel Core i5 processor was designed to use less power and still deliver high performance. It has a 1.4 GHz speed, which can dynamically accelerate up to 2.7 GHz to match your workload thanks to updated Intel Turbo Boost Technology. And with the Intel HD Graphics 5000 processor, you get up to 40 percent faster graphics — performance you'll especially notice with games and other graphics-intensive tasks.

Thunderbolt and USB 3Delivering an amazing 10 gigabits per second of transfer speeds in both directions, the ultrafast and ultraflexible Thunderbolt port allows you to move data up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and more than 12 times faster than with FireWire 800. You can also daisy-chain up to six Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals without using a hub. Thunderbolt also supports DisplayPort for high resolution displays and works with existing adapters for HDMI, DVI, and VGA displays. The MacBook Air also comes with two USB 3 ports, enabling you to connect your external hard drive and transfer large files in seconds instead of minutes with speeds up to 10 times faster than USB 2. And you can connect all your USB-compatible devices, including your iPhone, iPad, iPod, or digital camera. Integrated HD FaceTime WebcamYou'll be able to easily connect with friends, family, and business colleagues using the MacBook Air's HD 720p FaceTime camera, which is integrated into the thin bezel above the display and features three times the resolution of the previous FaceTime camera. And with Apple's FaceTime application, you're not limited to video chats with other Macs — you can now make video calls to iPhone and iPod touch users. Specifications
Installed Software At the heart of every MacBook Pro — and every Mac — is OS X Mavericks, the world's most advanced desktop operating system. It features an amazing collection of apps you'll use every day, and it includes advanced technologies that boost performance and battery life. OS X Mavericks works with the MacBook Pro's super-responsive trackpad so Multi-Touch gestures feel natural to use, and technologies like Power Nap take advantage of the Mac hardware to keep the entire system up to date while it sleeps.

This review is from: Apple MacBook Air MD760LL/B 13.3-Inch Laptop (NEWEST VERSION) (Personal Computers) Unlike others, I have found that the Mac OS operating system really does have a significant learning curve for me. As an iPhone and iPad user, I expected the transition to a MacBook to be easier. Despite my familiarity with other Apple devices I often feel frustrated by troublesome trackpad gesture problems and a setup that doesn't feel intuitive to me. While the trackpad is very sensitive the gestures make me long for a clear, easy to use mouse. After purchasing the MacBook I actually set it aside for a few busy weeks, finding it easier to get things like taxes done efficiently using my husband's PC or my old Dell. I still feel like we are not quite speaking the same language after several months of use, but I am slowly beginning to feel more comfortable with this system. Clearly, it is a beautifully designed machine with a nice display. At less than 3 pounds the 13 inch feels very portable. It is sleek, thin, and the adjustable backlight helps with visual appeal. I do seem to have some difficulty with typing accurately on the keyboard setup. I have also found that the Air does get quite warm when sitting on your lap, particularly where the battery is located, and battery life seems disappointing. Performance limitations make this less than ideal for serious graphics and photo editing- those users will likely need a Pro or an iMac. For more basic needs this is a sleek, pleasant machine.

This review is from: Apple MacBook Air MD760LL/B 13.3-Inch Laptop (NEWEST VERSION) (Personal Computers) I've been a Mac user for 9 years (the PowerBook G4 days) and I'll still admit that it took me being in a pinch to finally break down and buy one of these. I love opening my computers and upgrading them myself, so any machine that doesn't allow that makes me feel sort of powerless.
You can call me an Apple apologist all you want, but this is absolutely fine as a consumer, entry-level Mac. Yes, it's probably time for them to give you 8gb RAM by default. Yes, they charge way too much to upgrade to 8gb RAM. And yes, it sucks that you can't pop it open and just put some in yourself for half the money. All those points considered, there's a reason Apple is selling a ton of these, even to the people who can't stop complaining about it. Even I have gripes with this machine, but I still love it. Everyone complaining about RAM either 1) still constantly uses it regardless of their complaints, or 2) paid for the 8GB. Apple is expensive. They always have been. They always will be. I've been hearing people complain about similar things for almost a decade now, and yet Apple continues to sell hardware like hot cakes. Enough with the same tired old debate; on to the machine itself. You already know that it's sleek, beautiful, and extremely light. Great for hauling around work or school -- simple as that. I cloned the drive from my MacBook Pro onto my new Air, and was up and running quickly (personally, I prefer SuperDuper! for this.). I've pushed it a bit with things like Photoshop, and even Final Cut. It'll get a quick job done, but you will big it down with such actives, and they're best performed on a Pro or above..... Which is why the Pro exists. This is my satellite machine. I go to school, I do jobs for friends with it, I record multitrack audio, I use it as an impromptu media server w/ my Roku sometimes, and I store most of my archived files at home on my Pro system. Seeing as how I still have a 2007 white MacBook in service as a media server, I suspect this Air will stay in my service in some capacity for at least half a decade. If you're in a contest to get the most RAM for your money, then don't buy a Mac. If you're going to feel ripped off because your phone camera doesn't have as many MP as everyone else's, don't get an iPhone. I'll admit it. They're not for everyone. But if you've bought into the way Apple does things, you're already invested in an iPhone, and you just want a machine for doing everyday tasks... The Air is absolutely fine. If you're going to be storing massive files and performing heavy tasks, then you need to pony up for a pro or a desktop. Honestly, I love having sort of a "primary" system at home to function as a server, storage tank, and for heavy lifting. If all that's too expensive or a "rip off", then go get droid and a chrome book. Or maybe a windows phone and one of those 2-in-1 machines. Nobody is stopping you. |
