Some Facts About The New MacBook
We’ve all seen the hype for this new ‘amazingly thin’ new notebook, and I’m not going to go over the detailed descriptions again here for you - I’ve just got 6 questions and answers to those nagging doubts you may still have:
How small is it really?Well, the stats are as follows - 32.5cms wide and 22.7cm depth so it would appear about the same size as a simple 4-ring A4 folder on your desk. Like the folder, it is also wedge-shaped so is thinner at the front end, but with the back being less than 2cm anyway (about as thick as a Palm Treo) and the front tapering down to an almost ridiculous 0.4cm at the front (which is as high as the letter ‘l’ here) they have every right to call it ’small’.
What about it’s overall weight?In weight terms it is only 1.36kg (about the same as 2 pints of milk). The older MacBook weighed in at 2.27kg and the MacBook Pro at 2.45kg so they have nearly halved the weight.
How do they get around not having an optical drive?Well, seeing as most people have another computer around the house, they thought they would save on the weight of this extra component so installed the smaller Remote Disc software instead. Basically, this allows you to use the disc drive of other computers to run those images as your own, however you cannot use the Remote Disc to watch DVD’s.
What about Ethernet connectivity?This feature is not included as part of the MacBook Air, but for around $40/£20 you can buy their adaptor which fits into the USB port to achieve the connection.
What kind of storage does it have?Technically - it comes with a 1.8in, 80GB, 4,200rpm Parallel ATA hard drive (with the ability to upgrade to a 64GB solid-state drive for faster access - but less storage - at a hefty $1280/£635).
Does it have a mini keyboard?No - it has a full-size MacBook-style keyboard - complete with the standard black key caps - although as with the others in the range, it doesn’t come with the numeric keypad. The keyboard is back-lit and varies brightness in accordance with the environment it is being used in.
