Product Description
MacBook Air is powered by the all-new fourth-generation Intel Core i5 processor. This ultra-efficient architecture was designed to use less power with up to 9 hours battery life (wireless web) 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 new Intel HD Graphics 5000 offers up to 40 percent faster graphics - performance you'll especially notice with games and other graphics-intensive tasks.
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.
Key Features
Up to 9 Hours of Battery Life
Power through your whole work day with the 11-inch MacBook Air, which delivers up to 9 hours of battery life -- more time power for word processing, presentations, email, and more . The increase is due to a larger battery (thanks to the compact all-flash storage in the MacBook Air) and the new power-efficient Intel Core processor architecture. Put the MacBook Air to sleep for more than 3 hours, and it enters standby mode to conserve battery life for up to 30 days.
802.11ac: The New Definition of Fast
The MacBook Air now supports ultrafast 802.11ac Wi-Fi. When connected to an 802.11ac base station -- including the new AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule -- wireless performance is up to three times faster than with the previous generation of MacBook Air. And your Wi-Fi range improves as well.
Flash Memory Storage
By replacing the standard spinning hard drive typically found in laptops (as well as desktop PCs) with flash memory, the MacBook Air delivers an almost instantaneous boot-up when you open the display, as well as faster application launches and snappier overall performance. Additionally, Apple has shed the enclosure that typically surrounds flash memory (usually about the same size as a standard hard drive), thus giving it a smaller footprint and helping to decrease the size of the MacBook Air.
Fourth-Generation Intel Core i5 Dual-Core Processing
The ultra-efficient architecture of the fourth-generation Intel Core i5 processor was designed to use less power and still deliver high performance. It has a 1.3 GHz speed, which can dynamically accelerate up to 2.6 GHz to match your workload thanks to updated Intel Turbo Boost Technology.
And with the Intel HD Graphics 5000 processor, you get up to 40 percent faster graphics -- performance you'll especially notice with games and other graphics-intensive tasks.
