January 16, 2008
The macbook air is here, We thought we would bring you the full specs in one place. Look out for the review over the next week or so.
The crowds were wowed by the unveiling of the macbook air and it is easy to see why. Apple has packed a great deal of technology in a small space (the macbook air is the worlds thinnest laptop).
“We’ve built the world’s thinnest notebook — without sacrificing a full-size keyboard or a full-size 13-inch display”, said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “When you first see MacBook Air, it’s hard to believe it’s a high-performance notebook with a full-size keyboard and display. But it is”. We certainly find it hard to believe! Here are the full specs.
Widescreen display
Its 13.3-inch widescreen LED backlit display delivers 1280-by-800 resolution which produces vibrant images and rich colors. The LED technology also conserves battery life.
Full-size keyboard
The full-size, illuminated keyboard is perfect for staying productive on a plane or in a conference hall.
The genius of multi-touch
Zoom, rotate, and scroll with a pinch or swipe of the multi-touch trackpad. This gesture-based input, so successful on iPhone and iPod touch, has been adapted for the MacBook Air.
