What is a Macbook Air

The MacBook Air. What is it? - ? WhatIs.com Setup

The MacBook Air is a sleek, light Apple desktop computer. Since it is a fully-fledged laptop, but weighing only three lbs, the laptops fall into a class that is currently described by the suppliers as "ultra-portable". MacBook Air has an anodised aluminium case that's 0.16 inch at its thinest point and 0.76 inch at its thickness.

Described as the same sized as a block of papers, the notebook has only a single connection for connection to a computer's computer via computer via computer's high-speed connection (USB), an integrated speaker and mic, and an earphone connection. The MacBook Air has built-in Wi-Fi connectivity to connect and sync your notebook to a mobile device such as a handheld device, mobile device, or mobile radio set. MacBook Air does not come with a DVD/CD player.

Consumers have two choices for installing firmware from a disc: they can use the Remote Disk function to remotely attach to another computer's DVD/CD drives, or they can buy an optional MacBook Air SuperDrive that is available seperately. SuperDrive is a multi-format read/write CD/DVD player that connects to each MacBook Air' individual USB connector.

Your notebook uses Wi-Fi for network/internet connectivity with 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity. Apple says the MacBook Air holds up to five hours off the MacBook Air batteries, which depends on what the computer does. It was a bit contentious about the rechargeable batteries themselves, as they are housed in the laptop's aluminium case and cannot be replaced by the users.

Once the accumulator has reached the point where it no longer needs charging, the user must send the computer back to Apple to replace the accumulator. MacBook Air is what Apple calls an green MacBook, not only because it uses less electricity than other MacBooks, but also because it has an aluminium enclosure that can be reused and an LC screen that's mercury- and arsenic-free.
