Apple MC504LL/A 13.3" MacBook Air Notebook Computer with 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2GB RAM, 256GB Flash Drive

The 13.3" MacBook Air Notebook Computer from Apple is an extremely portable, stunningly designed laptop computer. Apple's engineers have leveraged the lessons they learned in designing the miniaturized iPad and applied them to the design of this 2.9-pound computer. The original MacBook Air's slim profile was made possible due to the lack of an optical drive. This system eschews the hard drive as well - opting instead for 256GB of flash storage - resulting in an even slimmer profile.

When closed, the computer is only 0.68" at its thickest point. Flash storage doesn't just give you a lighter, thinner computer. It also allows for impressive battery life - up to 7 hours of web browsing and an amazing 30 days of standby time! The MacBook Air is housed in an aluminum unibody enclosure, which is as strong as it is light. Because it is cut from a solid block of aluminum, the housing is stronger than those found on laptops built via traditional means.

The computer's high-resolution display makes working on the go a breeze. At 13.3" in size, the 16:10 display feature a native resolution of 1440 x 900 - equal to that of the 15.4" MacBook Pro! It features a glossy finish and a LED backlight for enhanced image quality and energy efficiency. Computers in the MacBook Air's weight class are most often classified in the "netbook" category. Netbooks typically feature less-than-full-size keyboards, cramped trackpads and low-powered CPUs. Not so with the MacBook Air. This computer features the same chiclet keyboard found on every computer in the MacBook series. It also boasts a large multi-touch glass trackpad, giving you full control over your computer - without sacrificing ergonomics.

The computer is powered by a dual-core 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and boasts 2GB of RAM. Graphics are provided by an integrated NVIDIA GeForce 320M GPU with up to 256MB of shared DDR3 memory. The computer features all the amenities you expect on a Mac - a FaceTime webcam, dual-band 802.11n AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, an SD card slot and built-in stereo speakers.

iLife '11, a complete suite of digital creativity applications, is installed on the system. Easy enough for anyone to use, iLife will help you edit your home movies, organize digital photos and compose original music. The computer is loaded with Apple's Mac OS x 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system. The 64-bit OS features Time Machine backup, which automatically backs up system data to an external hard drive.

It also features intuitive Cover Flow navigation, the powerful Spotlight search tool and Quick Look document preview. You'll be able to use Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac, or FaceTime to participate in video chats with iPhone, iPod touch and Mac users.
