After removing unceremoniously the unibody white MacBook, Apple had to introduce a new laptop for education at a reasonable price (by Apple's standards of course). Times are changing and it is now a MacBook Air.
 This model is a hybrid model of MacBook Air: it has a 13" display but all the other specifications correspond to an 11" entry model with a 64 GB SSD, 2 GB of RAM and a Core i5 processor clocked at 1.6 GHz. It is priced at $999 (like the white MacBook), the price of the 11" model for regular customers. The only disappointment about this model is the RAM capacity. Out of 2 GB, 256 MB are dedicated exclusively to Intel's integrated graphics. Once the OS is running there is only a little over 1 GB left, which will cause the little SSD to start swapping pretty fast. By Machmeter, original by Lionel |
