The MacBook Air: What you need to know

by Stephen Chinnadorai on Jan 21, 2008 at 05:04 PM

MacBook Air The MacBook Air is for most people a completely new revolution in computers. Its striking design is only .16 to .76 inches thick and it weights only 3 lbs. This is clearly a special laptop - something far apart from the competition. Some older Mac users that were around in the times of the PowerBook Duo may be thinking “why is Apple returning to the ultra-portable notebooks again?”. The MacBook Air is aimed at a very different market to their other computers in my opinion.

The MacBook Air is obviously not designed to be a primary computer; but a notebook that you take on airplanes and other travels - where all you need is an internet connection to browse the web and check your email. This is more designed for business employees more than average consumers - the price says that alone. The processor speeds are also a let down. This is of course because the computer is so thin and light, and also because there needs to be maximum battery life possible.

Macworld’s guide covers basically everything you need to know and ever will need to know about the MacBook Air. From questions of how the under-the-hood technology managed to be so compact - to questions about purchasing the notebook.
