Up to 12 hourse of battery life
Thanks to compact all-flash storage in MacBook Air, there?s plenty of room for a big battery. Working together with the
power-efficient fifth-generation Intel Core architecture, this battery can post some impressive numbers. The 11-inch model
gets up to 9 hours of battery life on a single charge and the 13-inch model gets up to 12 hours. That gives you all-day power
for surfing the web or watching iTunes movies. Put MacBook Air to sleep for more than 3 hours, and it enters standby mode to
conserve battery life for up to 30 days.1 And if you enable Power Nap, you?ll continue to receive new email and calendar invitations
while your computer is asleep.
Fifth-Generation Intel Core Processer
MacBook Air is powered by fifth-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors. This ultra-efficient architecture was designed to use less power
and still deliver high performance. Which means not only can you do whatever you want ? you can keep doing it for longer than before. In
addition, the Intel HD Graphics 6000 processor offers advanced performance you?ll especially notice with games and other graphics-intensive
tasks.
802.11ac WiFi
MacBook Air supports ultrafast 802.11ac Wi-Fi. When connected to an 802.11ac base station
including Airport Extream and Airport Time Capsule wireless performance is up to 3x faster
than 802.11n Wi-Fi.2And your Wi-Fi range improves as well. 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.
Fast all Flash Storage
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. Available in capacities up to 512GB,3 this PCIe-based flash storage is up to 17x faster than a traditional
5400-rpm notebook hard drive.4 So when you flip open MacBook Air, it?s ready to go right away. Even after a
month in standby mode, the screen springs to life.
Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3
With a Thunderbolt 2 port that?s twice as fast as the previous generation, 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 all your USB 2
devices as well. With just a few connections, MacBook Air transforms from an ultraportable notebook to a complete
workstation.
Display and Camra
720p FaceTime HD camera.
Stay sharp.
Let your friends and family see more of you with the 720p FaceTime HD camera.
Every smile looks bright, even halfway around the world. And the widescreen
format means everyone can fit into the picture without having to crowd around
the display.
Dual mics. They?ll hear you loud and clear.
The dual microphones in MacBook Air are great for when you want to be heard.
If you?re making a FaceTime call, for example, the mics reduce background noise
from behind the notebook. And when you use Dictation, they create an adaptive
audio beam that intelligently adjusts to detect your voice ? instead of the noise
around you.
Multi-Touch track Pad
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.
Blacklit Keyboard
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 café to a seat on a cross‑country red‑eye, you?ll always have the perfect lighting for any environment.
