Free Apple Macbook Air Offer

The MacBook Air household is a line of Apple ultraportable Macintosh mobile computing.

The first-generation MacBook Air would be a 13.3"-only model, previously promoted as the World's Thinnest Notebook, introduced at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 15, 2008. It featured a custom Intel Merom CPU and Intel GMA graphics. In late 2008, the CPU was updated to a faster, non-custom Penryn CPU and integrated Nvidia GeForce graphics as the hard disk capacity was increased and also the micro-DVI video port was replaced by the Mini DisplayPort. A mid-2009 refresh, introduced alongside the MacBook Pro family, featured a slightly higher-capacity battery, and a faster Penryn CPU.

On October 20, 2010, Apple released a redesigned 13.3" model, with improved enclosure, screen resolution, battery, and flash storage rather than a hard disk. In addition, a new 11.6" model was introduced, offering lower cost, weight, battery life, and performance relative to the 13.3" model, but better performance than typical netbooks of the time.

On July 20, 2011, Apple released an updated model in the same form factor because the prior model. The new model was powered by new dual-core Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, were built with a backlit keyboard, Thunderbolt rather than Mini DisplayPort and Bluetooth was upgraded to v4.0. Maximum flash storage and memory options were almost identical.

The MacBook Air is made for thinness; it is also lighter than most competing models. The computer includes a glossy LED backlit display and a full-size keyboard, as well as a large trackpad that responds to iPad-related Multi-Touch gestures for example pinching, swiping, and rotating. With the release of Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the Air's multi-touch trackpad also supports handwriting recognition of Chinese characters.

On the 11-inch MacBook Air, the left side from the computer includes a MagSafe power connector, usb port spot, a headphone jack, and a microphone. The best side of the computer has a USB port along with a Mini DisplayPort, now replaced by a Thunderbolt port in the 2011 version. Along with the screen bezel there is an iSight, that is now dubbed the FaceTime camera.

The MacBook Air was the first subcompact laptop offered by Apple because the full-featured 12" PowerBook G4 was discontinued in 2006. It was also Apple's first computer with an optional solid-state storage drive. ArsTechnica found "moderate" performance improvements of the 64 GB[note 2] solid-state drive from the first generation Air within the standard 80 GB hard drive in tests. On October 14, 2008, new models were announced with improved capacities of 128 GB (solid-state) and 120 GB (hard disk). For the late 2010 MacBook Air, only flash storage can be obtained, in 64 or 128 GB capacities on the 11" model, and 128 or 256 GB on the 13".

The CPU in the first-generation MacBook Air was a custom engineered Intel Core 2 Duo Merom that was 40 percent of the size the conventional chip package. For types of late-2008,The CPU was replaced with a low-voltage Core 2 Duo Penryn chip with 6 MB of cache, running on the 1066 MHz bus.

The MacBook Air doesn't have user-replaceable parts. The flash memory and battery are enclosed inside the casing, with RAM soldered onto the logic board. The flash memory, engineered to be hard to access, includes a 128MB cache and a mSATA link with the logic board. The battery could be replaced using normal screwdrivers, although it is unclear whether this process would void the computer's warranty. As part of the out-of-warranty service, Apple purports to replace battery for a fee.

Apple incorporated several features in the style of the MacBook Air, like the decrease in toxic chemicals like lead, to really make it more eco-friendly. The MacBook Air contains no BFRs and PVC wiring, meets Energy Star Version 5.0 requirements, includes a recyclable enclosure, and is rated EPEAT Gold; its display is made of arsenic-free glass and doesn't contain mercury. To reduce the device's size and weight, several features were sacrificed. It had been Apple's first notebook since the PowerBook 2400c with no built-in removable media drive. It also omits a FireWire port, Ethernet port, line-in, media card slots (except the 13" 2010 model, that has an Sdcard slot), and a Kensington Security Slot.

To regain the characteristics of an optical drive, users can either purchase a external USB SuperDrive or the bundled Remote Disc software, just for disk browsing or software installation, to wirelessly access the optical drive of another computer which has the Remote Disc program installed.It is also accustomed to reinstall the system software from the included installation DVD. Remote Disc supports NetBooting, so the MacBook Air can boot from the installation DVD in another computer's drive, which requires Remote Install Mac OS X to become running on the remote computer. The software does not allow playback or information of DVDs or CDs, nor installing Microsoft Windows. For these features, another USB drive is required.

This years revision includes two speakers for stereo sound while earlier versions have one speaker located underneath the keyboard.
