By participating at our creativity there will be ramp as the world has changed.

Whether attending conferences or just visiting the exhibition we will certainly face to face with something unexpected.

When the edition of this year, on January 15, 2008, there was instead the much awaited inaugural speech of a number of Apple, Steve Jobs Steve Jobs that has not disappointed the public by presenting the newest member of the house of Cupertino: MacBook Air, the thinner the laptop world.

"We made the most portable of the thin world, without sacrificarne keyboard size nor the wide screen from 13 inches," said Steve Jobs immediately .. "The first time you see MacBook Air, is hard to believe that this is a high-performance laptop with keyboard and screen size. But it is true!"

In fact this is a machine designed for ultra world wireless devices and unnecessary measure just 1.9 cm thick (4 mm in the most subtle) and has a weight of 1.3 kg. Have been reduced virtually all the details that could reduce, while leaving an LED screen by 13.3 widescreen, a keyboard backlighting size and a large multi-touch trackpad.

The screen illuminated LED glossy widescreen has a resolution of 1280x800.

The keyboard is size with backlit buttons allows you to work in the dark as planes and conference rooms. The sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen and keyboard for optimal visibility.

The trackpad "extra large" support multi-touch to select, scroll, pizzicare and rotate as sull'iPhone.

The Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6 or 1.8 GHz with 4 MB of L2 cache is a very special version less than half specifically designed by Intel for archiving while there is a micro disc by 1.8 inches 80 GB (4200 rpm), as those in the iPod. Alternatively, you can opt for a SSD, and that is a solid state disk by 64 GByte without moving parts.
The memory is 2 GB (667MHz DDR2 SDRAM), which are welded directly on the motherboard and therefore not expandable on demand even when ordering the machine.

The graphics card is an Intel GMA X3100 with 144 MB of memory shared with main memory. The graphics processor is the same and the MacBook is fairly powerful for its class.

The battery thinner ever created by Apple as stated by Cupertino house, the battery is tested for a period of about 5 hours.
Replacing the battery MacBook Air can not be made independently and will be forced to turn to Apple for this service at a cost
