Key Features
Intel Core i5 Dual-Core Processing
The MacBook Air packs plenty of power thanks to the latest Intel Core i5
processor, which features a faster processor, more powerful graphics, and a
memory controller integrated into a single chip. The third-generation dual-core
Intel Core i5 has a 1.8 GHz speed, which can dynamically accelerate up to 2.8
GHz to match your workload thanks to updated Intel Turbo Boost Technology.
And with the Intel HD Graphics 4000 processor, you get up to 60 percent
faster graphics. So the video you watch, the FaceTime calls you make, and pretty
much everything else you do is smoother and more detailed.
High-speed Thunderbolt and USB 3 Ports
A high-speed Thunderbolt port allows the MacBook Air to transfer data at
lightning-fast speeds and connect displays like the Apple Thunderbolt Display,
enabling you to turn this highly portable notebook into a highly versatile
workstation. And with two USB 3 ports, you'll be able to connect the latest USB
3 devices and access a pipeline that's up to 10 times faster than USB 2.
Because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, you'll be able to
connect to a high-resolution display from the same port. Any Mini DisplayPort
display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port, and you can also connect displays
that use DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA connections with an existing adapter.
You'll also be able to include your display into a daisy-chained set of
peripherals.
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.
Multi-Touch Trackpad
The Multi-Touch gestures in OS X make everything you do on MacBook Air more
intuitive, direct, and fun. You can pinch, swipe or rotate images on the display
screen with the brush of two fingers, or add more digits for a four-fingered
vertical swipe to open Expose and quickly glance at all of your open
windows.
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.
Backlit Keyboard
The MacBook Air manages to fit a full-size keyboard that makes typing as
natural as it is comfortable. And the keyboard is backlit, so you can type with
ease in even the dimmest light. A built-in ambient light sensor detects changes
in lighting conditions and adjusts the display and keyboard brightness
automatically.

the processor in your Mac to deliver the best possible performance. Power Nap
even takes advantage of the Mac hardware to keep the entire system up to date
while it sleeps.
