MacBook Air Now it's even faster than it looks.
With the latest Intel processors and graphics and faster flash storage, the ultimate everyday notebook is better than ever. Both the 11- and 13-inch MacBook Air have plenty of power for the things you do every day.
New Intel Core i5 and i7 processors. A big shift in power.
Integrating a faster processor, more powerful graphics, and a memory controller into a single chip makes for some serious performance. The new Intel HD Graphics 4000 offers up to 60 percent faster graphics - performance you'll really notice in the games you play, the movies you watch, and the FaceTime calls you make. And MacBook Air now supports up to 8GB of memory, so you can run more memory-intensive applications without compromising performance.
Faster all-flash storage. Even more instant gratification.
Part of what makes MacBook Air so responsive is that it's designed entirely around flash storage. Not only does this make MacBook Air much lighter and more portable than traditional notebooks, it also provides faster access to data and gives you instant-on capability. Available up to 512GB, this next-generation flash storage is up to 4x faster than a traditional 5400-rpm notebook hard drive and faster than the previous-generation MacBook Air. So when you flip open MacBook Air, it starts up in seconds. Even after a month in standby mode, the screen springs to life. Apps launch quickly. And with no moving parts, flash storage stays quiet.
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. And with Power Nap - a new feature coming this summer in OS X Mountain Lion - you'll continue to receive new email and calendar invitations while MacBook Air is asleep. When it's connected to a power source, it can download software updates and make backups with Time Machine. So when you come back to your MacBook Air and open it up, it's on in an instant. And everything is right there waiting for you.
Thunderbolt and USB 3. Make some powerful connections.
With the lightning-fast Thunderbolt port, you can connect your MacBook Air to the latest devices and displays, like the Apple Thunderbolt Display. But that's not the whole story. MacBook Air also comes equipped with two USB 3 ports, so you can connect the latest USB 3 devices and access a pipeline that's up to 10 times faster than USB 2. With just a few connections, MacBook Air transforms from an ultraportable notebook to a complete workstation.
Wireless. You're free to go.
Your MacBook Air finds available Wi-Fi networks automatically and lets you connect with just a click. So you can browse the web, send email, and print documents no matter where you are. And with Bluetooth technology, you can connect MacBook Air to Bluetooth-enabled devices like speakers and headphones. Even without all the wires, you're totally connected.
Display and camera. Worth a second look. And a third. And a fourth.
High-resolution display. Millions of pixels. Millimeters thin.
Corner to corner and pixel by pixel, the MacBook Air display is both an engineering feat and a design breakthrough. The display measures a mere 4.86 millimeters (0.19 inch) thin, yet the resolution is so high, you'll feel like you're looking at a much larger screen. And with good reason. The 11-inch MacBook Air features a resolution equal to that of a typical 13-inch notebook, while the 13-inch MacBook Air wows with a resolution equivalent to a typical 15-inch notebook.
720p FaceTime HD camera. Clearly, it's a big deal.
Let your friends and family see more of you with the new 720p FaceTime HD camera. With three times the resolution of the previous FaceTime camera, every smile looks a lot brighter. And the widescreen format means everyone can fit into the picture without having to crowd around the display.
Multi-Touch trackpad. It goes hand in hand with OS X.
The Multi-Touch gestures in OS X make everything you do on MacBook Air more intuitive, direct, and fun. And the spacious Multi-Touch trackpad is perfectly designed for them, whether it's a three-finger swipe to activate Mission Control or a four-finger pinch to see all your apps in Launchpad. Gesture responses are smooth and realistic. So when you're scrolling up and down a web page or swiping from one full-screen app to another, it's almost like you're touching what you're seeing.
Backlit keyboard. What you see is what you type.
As incredibly compact as MacBook Air is, it still manages to fit a full-size keyboard that makes typing as natural as it is comfortable. And the keyboard is backlit, so you can type with ease in even the dimmest light. A built-in ambient light sensor detects changes in lighting conditions and adjusts the display and keyboard brightness automatically. From a seat in a sunny cafe to a seat on a cross-country red-eye, you'll always have the perfect lighting for any environment.

I had a Macbook Pro 2011 with an i5 turboboost, by the first couple of days of using it, I noticed how it lags sometimes, just a little bit, especially after turning it back on from sleep mode, which was pretty annoying. so I sold it and got this 2012 Macbook Air.. I’ve had it for 2 weeks now, and I’m pretty amaized by it. Pros. a lot, I’ll try to mention them all.. 1.Now this is one fast laptop, never lags no matter what u do, sleep mode? faster than u can click. Restart? before u can light a cig.. 2.Crisp screen - definitely way less glare than Macbook Pro. 3.720 HD cam perfect for Skype and FaceTime which I use a lot. 4.USB 3.0 is super quick. 5.And the best part, this thing is unbelievablely light. hence the name Air.. 6.Speakers.. are twice as loud as the Pro’s with more deep sound, I can enjoy some bass. 7.The price is the same as the Pro... I promise, showing off this Macbook Air to a friend with a Macbook Pro is like a slap to the face!

Highly recommend, 2012-08-09
By Josh
Beyond expectations. Product was ordered late into the night. I was expecting the following day to be considered day one for shipping, however that was not the case. I actually received the product the very next day. What can I say for the product itself? It's an Apple! of course it's phenomenal. It doesn't just perform as advertised. It performs beyond the high expectations customers have come to place on it. Programs work together as designed, and despite the stubbornness of Windows virtual network, required for my work, the Air performs far superiorly in that aggressive milieu than its' counterpart PC, which was theoretically built for just such activity.

Really good laptop, definitely worth getting as opposed to any windows computer. There is a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it there is no going back. Best laptop ever

MacBook Air 13, 2012-09-06
By Paul Denlinger
This is the best computer I have ever used, and i have been using them since 1989. Compared to my 2007 MacBook Pro, it is much lighter, faster and more responsive. The SSD is super-fast, and when you need to shut it down and restart, it reboots in less than 10 seconds.
I have been using mine for developing iOS apps in Xcode, and the fast speed and responsiveness really make a difference. For the first time ever, I have been able to develop then compile my code just about as fast as I think. My configuration is the 4GB RAM + 128GB SSD memory.
I ordered my computer from this store, requesting next day delivery. About half an hour after I received the MacBook Air, I got a phone call from my account executive confirming receipt, and that I was happy with my purchase. Now that’s good service!

MacBook Air, 2012-09-14
By Steve
ordered Apple 13.3" Macbook Air. Shipped the day I ordered - arrived at location as committed as ordered and expected. was contacted by customer service in between saying product was on-hold, but this appeared to be a mistake and there was no problem. When product arrived - shipping was nicely contained. Apple does a nice job of exceeding the users out-of-the-box experience. Nice clean packaging and the aluminum case is solid, yet very thin. Initialization of system when started up through first user configuration was seamless. Screen is bright and colors are crisp. Backlit keyboard is nice, trackpad interface is ingenious. The OS and special user access and tools have been easy to use: terminal, autosoftware, etc. The transition from PC to MAC was transparent - what a great product!

Love it!, 2012-09-20
By Joe
This is my first mac, coming from a clunky Dell laptop. I love it! Its super light and thin. the swipe shortcuts make everything a breeze.the 13" screen is a great sized screen. Performance holds up nicely when using Photoshop and using big files. I contacted Apple thru the website and got a free Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.1.

MacBook Air, 2012-10-20
By William Preseau
The product came in great time and new in the box. My only hang up is that it did NOT come with the latest operating system. I was very disappointed in that. Otherwise, I was quite pleased with everything else.

Finally!, 2012-11-23
By LinDono
I have been drooling over this laptop for at least a year. I have an iMac that I love and being a stay at home mom, it was hard to justify a laptop too, but somehow I managed. appleinsider.com helped me compare prices and get the best price from this store. Shipping was fast and I am thrilled. I haven’t used it that much, but just looking at it makes me happy! The ability to put a software CD in my iMac and have it load on my Air was immediate confirmation that I would be okay without a CD drive.

Great, 2012-11-27
By Charlene Hecht
A year ago my son, who is a confirmed Apple fanatic, encouraged me to purchase an iMac. I did, I love it. I have had many less problems with it than my other brand. So, when I needed to invest in a laptop, and Apple was a done deal. My son knows what my needs are and he recommended the MacBook Air. I love it. It’s easy to work with, so light, the features are delightful. I’ve become a Mac person also.
