All the Power You Want. All Day Long.
The new MacBook Air is thin, light, and durable enough to take everywhere you
go -- and powerful enough to do everything once you get there. A
fourth-generation Intel Core processor and Intel HD Graphics 5000 deliver high
performance, while using less power. So you get remarkable battery life: up to 9
hours on this 11.6-inch model. And with up to 45 percent faster flash storage
compared to the previous generation and new 802.11ac Wi-Fi for up to 3x faster
wireless, the new MacBook Air is quicker and more responsive than ever.
The MacBook Air with 11.6-inch screen.
The MacBook Air 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.
This version of the MacBook Air (model MD711LL/B) sports an 11.6-inch
high-resolution display, 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 comes with the iLife software suite, which
includes the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand.
Up to 9 hours of battery life.
Key Features
Up to 9 Hours of Battery Life
Power through your whole work day with the 11-inch MacBook Air, which
delivers up to 9 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.
802.11ac: The New Definition of Fast
The MacBook Air now 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 Storage
By 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 Processing
The 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.
Revolutionary Thunderbolt Technology
DDeveloped by Intel with collaboration from Apple, high-speed Thunderbolt I/O
(input/output) technology delivers an amazing 10 gigabits per second of transfer
speeds in both directions. Built into the MacBook Air, the Thunderbolt port
allows you to connect to new Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals as well as
existing USB and FireWire peripherals using simple adapters. You'll be able to
move data up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and more than 12 times faster
than with FireWire 800, and you can daisy-chain up to six high-speed devices
without using a hub. Thunderbolt also supports DisplayPort for high resolution
displays and works with existing adapters for HDMI, DVI, and VGA displays.
USB 3
WWith USB 3 built into the MacBook Air, you can connect your external hard
drive and transfer large files in seconds instead of minutes. Every MacBook Air
comes with two USB 3 ports--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 Webcam
You'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.
