Miniature Apple MacBook Air Laptop With A Screen Diagonal Of 11 Inches

Apple’s products are traditionally known for design. And, presumably, many Apple products do not owe their existence to some functionality, design and super-concept. “What if we make the computer in the form of a cube?” – Thought Steve Jobs, and appeared PowerMac G4 Cube. “And what if the phone is released with no buttons?” – Another idea came to the head of the company. And was created by iPhone.

MacBook Air has been generated by the same super-idea: to create an ultra-thin laptop, which would be placed in a folder for papers. In the sacrifice of compactness were brought to the performance, capacity and hard disk drive, and the price has increased very significantly.

In this case, talking about the compactness of a 13-inch MacBook Air have all the same at a stretch. Indeed, in the case of the size of a laptop is fundamental not only its thickness, and the width and height, which, of course, depend on the diagonal of the screen. Thus, the first MacBook Air was purely an image product. This is particularly obvious was when the left line of aluminum MacBook, among which was a 13-inch model.

In terms of design, materials and dimensions is in no way inferior to Air, but had the drive, more nimble processor and a much more gentle price. Then Apple will at some time as if all forgotten about the MacBook Air. Updated line of MacBook Pro, iMac Computers And in January 2010 Jobs introduced the iPad, which drew off all attention to himself until the iPhone 4. And then, finally, in late October, Apple showed the new MacBook Air.

However, consider the 11-inch MacBook Air rival iPad is not entirely correct. With similar screen sizes they have different operating systems, and diametrically opposed methods of user interaction. On the other hand, the compactness of the Air is really close to the iPad, so those who wanted to get the full functionality of the device with Mac OS X, but the small size iPad, should now be happy.

11-inch MacBook Air comes in a pretty massive box – alas, without a handle. So in terms of transportation Air box less convenient than the MacBook and MacBook Pro. Inside the box we find himself MacBook, dressed” in a protective film, Charger MagSafe, extension cord for the charger, two booklets with instructions for use, as well as a miniature flash drive with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and iLife’11.

The presence of flash are particularly pleased: now to reinstall the OS does not need to buy an external optical drive SuperDrive or arrange some sort of “dancing with a tambourine.” It became clear why so pulled with the announcement. Along with the updated 13-inch model MacBook Air, Apple has announced, and 11-inch, and the novelty has caused no less resonance than the iPad and iPhone 4.
