Product details

Revolutionise your computing expectations with the new look Apple MacBook Air MD231B/A 13.3" Laptop.

Evolving once more, the new MacBook Air is faster, thinner and lighter than previous generations of MacBook.

Speed

Powered by a 3rd generation dual-core Intel® i5™ processor, the Apple MacBook Air is 2.5 times faster than before and now boasts a standard 4 GB of RAM, making multitasking and interactivity greater than before.

Containing a 128GB SSD flash storage instead of a regular hard drive, the Apple MacBook Air is even more reliable, durable and quiet.

Interface

MacBook Air MD231B/A 13.3" Laptop features a spacious trackpad which itself is one button and is contained on an all-glass surface allowing you superb interaction with gestures including rubber-band scrolling, page and image zoom and full-screen swiping.

OS X Mountain Lion offers so much with full screen apps through the Launchpad desktop, AirDrop which allows you to share files wirelessly without the need for WiFi, and Version, which takes screenshots of your documents, showing you different versions of the document as it is has progressed.

FaceTime in HD!

Share more than ever before with the new 720p FaceTime HD camera.

With three times the resolution of the previous FaceTime camera, enjoy brighter, more vivid visuals that combine with the improved Intel Graphics HD 4000 for stunning pictures.

Thankfully the widescreen format means everyone can fit into the picture without having to crowd round the display.

Longer battery life

Thanks to the brilliant flash storage, the Apple MacBook Air is as efficient as ever when it comes to battery life.

With a superb 7 hours of battery life, you can put your MacBook to sleep and reopen it up to a month later with battery still remaining.

Be connected

The Macbook Air features excellent WiFi 802.11n technology, as it allows you to stay connected as you move from room to room, downloading apps and accessing information.

Fantastic Bluetooth 4.0 means faster transfer rates and interaction between devices, offering more convenience.

There are now two USB 3.0 ports as well, ideal for rapid transfer rates and connectivity of your peripherals.

Thunderbolt

Thunderbolt offers spectacular 10Gbps transfer rates. Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology and is the video standard for high-resolution screens as any Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port.

Thunderbolt allows you to connect a DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA monitor using an existing adapter equalling amazing results.

Backlit keyboard

The Apple MacBook Air features a gorgeous, aesthetically pleasing keyboard that is backlit and is ideal for typing comfortably even in low-light conditions as a built-in sensor detects the lighting and adjusts accordingly.

With its stunning interface, visual excellence and spectacular technology, the MacBook Air MD231B/A 13.3" Laptop has it all.

Brilliant options, transportability and user-friendliness await, as you embark into uncharted territory as the OS X Lion roars its way into your life.

The depth and capabilities that the MacBook Air contains will leave you speechless and wondering what you ever did before it came along as you join the computing revolution with the MacBook Air MD231B/A 13.3" Laptop! ___________________________________________________________________________
