Apple MacBook Air 13' 1.86GHz / 2.13GHz review
All-Flash Storage. Instant-on gratification.If you have an iPod, iPhone, or iPad, you're already taking advantage of all that flash storage has to offer: reliability, speed, and efficiency. So the decision to use flash storage in an ultracompact notebook like MacBook Air makes perfect sense. Flash allows you to access data quickly, and it gives MacBook Air the astonishing ability to remain in standby mode for up to 30 days.5 Which means your MacBook Air snaps to in an instant, whether you open it tomorrow, next week, or next month.
Multi-Touch Trackpad. It's love at first click, tap, and scroll.The new MacBook Air includes a spacious Multi-Touch trackpad with a buttonless design, so you can click anywhere. The Multi-Touch trackpad also lets you pinch, swipe, or rotate to adjust an image, zoom in on text, or advance through a photo album. Try the four-finger swipe, swiping up or down to use Expos? and swiping left or right to switch among active applications. Or perform the new three-finger drag to move your windows from one place to another.
Long-Lasting Battery. Instant on. Even after a month off.Since space-saving flash storage leaves room for a bigger battery, you can devote more time to the things you enjoy most. Things like browsing the web, editing photos, and watching videos. Get up to 5 hours of battery life on a single charge on the 11-inch model and up to 7 hours on the 13-inch model. Put MacBook Air to sleep, and it enters standby mode to conserve battery life for up to 30 days.5 When you come back to your MacBook Air and open it up, it's on in an instant. So you're free to go off the grid knowing you're still on a charge.
NVIDIA GeForce Graphics. Power in motion.MacBook Air features the NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor — the same one used in the 13-inch MacBook Pro. With a performance boost of over 2x that of the previous-generation MacBook Air,6 the NVIDIA graphics processor provides outstanding speed and power for browsing photos, watching movies, or playing games. It also makes all the everyday things you do on MacBook Air — like writing email and surfing the web — fast and energy efficient.
