Being carved from a single piece of aluminum pays dividends. It makes MacBook Air incredibly light, amazingly thin, extremely durable, and eminently portable which makes it super cool
I love them

I love the thiness 2.

My friend has one. Its like wicked!
The moment you open MacBook Air, its like WOAH to the instant full screen brightness. The screen is 13.3-inch, widescreen LED-backlit MacBook Air and the display offers the same viewable size as the screen on the new 13-inch MacBook Pro!!! The 1280-by-800 resolution gives you the best images ever and rich colors, making it perfect for watching movies n stuff. And LED technology makes the display more power efficient, which translates into longer battery life.
January 31, 2010 at 8:07 PM
The keyboard is full size 2, and its backlit keys make it easy to work in dim lighting. A built-in ambient light sensor automatically adjusts keyboard illumination and display brightness for optimal visibility. And the trackpad is spacious and supports the Multi-Touch technology, you can get a lot done with a simple gesture or two.

THe sepcs:
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor in MacBook Air was designed to fit within the computer’s compact dimensions. Now it delivers speeds not usually found in ultraportable notebooks, thanks to a faster Intel Core 2 Duo running at 1.86GHz or 2.13GHz. And with a 1066MHz frontside bus, 2GB of DDR3 memory, and 6MB of L2 cache, MacBook Air provides the power for you to be as productive in the air as you are in the office.
January 31, 2010 at 8:09 PM
The NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor brings amazing, high-speed graphics to MacBook Air.
January 31, 2010 at 8:10 PM
With up to 6x the graphics performance of the original model, you’ll notice a dramatic improvement in most applications.2 Photos appear in iPhoto more quickly. Keynote transitions occur seamlessly. Games play more smoothly. And movie and video playback is better than ever.
January 31, 2010 at 8:10 PM
No other ultraportable offers performance as impressive in such a slim design like the macbook air.

f you want to play or burn discs or play a DVD movie, consider the external USB-based MacBook Air SuperDrive.

MacBook Air includes a large trackpad with Multi-Touch technology. You can pinch, swipe, or rotate to adjust an image, zoom in on text, or advance through a photo album. Or try out the four-finger swipe, swiping up or down to use Exposé; left or right to switch among active applications.

The innovative now-you-see-it, now-you-don’t port hatch flips down to reveal (and closes to hide) all the ports you really need: a headphone jack, a USB 2.0 port, and a Mini DisplayPort that supports DVI, dual-link DVI, and VGA video output. The Mini DisplayPort connects to the 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Display, and it supports other displays up to 30 inches.
January 31, 2010 at 8:12 PM
With fast 802.11n Wi-Fi5 and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR wireless technology built in, MacBook Air lets you lead a fully wireless lifestyle. You can wirelessly rent movies from the iTunes Store, back up your drive to Time Capsule, or send photos or documents to the printer from the comfort of your living room couch.
January 31, 2010 at 8:12 PM
Without a built-in optical drive, how do you install new applications? Simply use Remote Disc. This innovative feature of Mac OS X lets you wirelessly “borrow” the optical drive of a nearby Mac or PC. So you can install applications from a CD or DVD and have full access to an optical drive without having to lug one around.
January 31, 2010 at 8:12 PM
MacBook Air includes a built-in iSight camera 2!!!so smartly integrated, you hardly notice it’s there. The iSight and iChat software make video chatting easy anywhere there’s a wireless network.
January 31, 2010 at 8:13 PM
Apple makes both the hardware and the software for MacBook Air, so we’re able to design them to work together. This allows us to make a smarter product that uses less electricity. For instance, to reduce energy consumption, the hard drive spins down automatically when inactive. MacBook Air also decides which processor — CPU or GPU — is best suited to efficiently perform a task. The processor even throttles down to save power between keystrokes as you type.
January 31, 2010 at 8:13 PM
The LED-backlit display in MacBook Air is another feature that plays an important part in conserving energy, consuming 30 percent less power than conventional LCD displays. And the display is designed to dim when you enter a darkened room. Together, these adjustments make MacBook Air incredibly energy efficient.
January 31, 2010 at 8:13 PM
In fact, MacBook Air meets the stringent low power requirements set by the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy, earning it ENERGY STAR certification. In addition, MacBook Air meets the latest efficiency requirements of the ENERGY STAR Version 5.0 Specification for Computers before its July 2009 effective date. ENERGY STAR 5.0 sets significantly higher efficiency limits for power supplies and aggressive limits for the computer’s typical annual power consumption.
January 31, 2010 at 8:13 PM
Because MacBook Air is environmentally innovative, it has earned the highest rating of EPEAT Gold. The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) evaluates the environmental impact of a product based on how recyclable it is, how much energy it uses, and how it’s designed and manufactured. Few products achieve EPEAT Gold status — and even fewer notebooks.

Apple has worked hard to eliminate many of the toxins that are a common part of notebook manufacturing. Take, for example, the mercury used in CCFL backlights and the arsenic contained in the glass of traditional LCD displays. Apple engineers removed both by choosing mercury-free LED technology and arsenic-free glass. They also removed brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) from circuit boards, internal cables, connectors, insulators, shock mounts, adhesives, and more. Apple has removed these toxins from MacBook Air, just as we have for the new MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Pro, and Mac mini; the Apple LED Cinema Display; and the iPod classic, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod touch, and iPhone 3G.
January 31, 2010 at 8:14 PM
The precision unibody enclosure of MacBook Air is formed from a single piece of solid, recyclable aluminum, replacing dozens of parts. And since aluminum is very desirable to recyclers, the raw materials used in the MacBook Air can be reused in other products.
