The new installment to the Mac family is finally here, the MacBook Air, and yes it is really thin. This laptop sure does live up to its name, MacBook Air is thin like air itself. This laptop is the world's thinnest laptop to be created. This notebook has many great qualities that other companies can't copy, and put into such a small space. There is an illuminated keyboard for use in dark areas such as a plane or in the car. So far this is the best thing that Mac has ever created.
This notebook is not heavy at all. In fact it only weighs three pounds, and is only 0.76 cm thick. In spite of its skinny size it has a screen that is 12.8 inches wide, and 13.3 inches diagonal. That is really big for a laptop that is so thin. Many people think that because it's so thin that it won't have a USB port or a audio port, and many other things, well it does, but the company limited the port to 1 USB port, but the laptop still has one.
Since this laptop has a resolution of 1280 by 800 the screen gives you lush, vibrant, and rich colors at full brightness, which makes looking at the screen even more fun. As for the keyboard it is full-size with crisp keys just like the ones on the other MacBooks. Although Mac took this laptop to a new level, the keyboard has an installed backlight key illumination, making it easier to work in those dark areas. Also Mac has added a bigger multi-touch trackpad, for those hard to do jobs such as moving the scroll bar without dragging the scrollbar.
There are many great features on the Macbook Air. The first thing is that there is a flip down hatch that reveals all the ports. Just close the hatch and it feels like they were never there. As I mentioned before, the multi-touch trackpad, has multiple uses, such as swiping, rotating or zooming in and zooming out, and advancing through an album. The new touch system in the iPhone and the iPod are now in the Macbook Air as well. Also, like the older Macbooks this notebook has a built in camera, so you can chat with and see your loved ones that are far away. The built in camera can be used for many other applications, such as making a presentation.
As for those people who love to download stuff, well good news. Macbook Air comes with a 2GB of RAM built in which isn't a lot, but adequate. The good news is that you have an option to upgrade to a 64 GB Solid-State RAM. So if you like downloading stuff, then this is the way to go.
There are many great features about the new family member, Macbook Air. So if you're planning to buy a laptop then consider this as one of your choices. It will make a great gift for anyone. If you want to bring some one joy in your family then get the thinnest laptop ever made, the Macbook Air.
