Apple MacBook Air – Apple’s First 11.6 inch Laptop Comes at Higher than Expected Price

Apple MacBook Air is finally the wish come true for buyers who always wished the manufacturer to come up with a laptop with small screen size. The year 2010 truly belonged to the generation of 11.6 inch laptops and this latest offering from Apple too contributes towards the trend. Still, the laptop bears a price tag which would appear pricier to many of the buyers. Moreover, there are some features that the manufacturer has compromised in this design.

The latest Apple MacBook Air offers excellent portability for being a compact and light weight design. It is the first MacBook to feature an 11.6 inch screen with 16:9 aspect ratio that further adds to the portable nature of the laptop. The laptop is all constructed from metal which is indeed one of its good aspects. The keyboard and trackpad of the laptop are good and complement the overall design.

One of the highlights of the laptop is the Apple’s iLife software suite featured by it. iPhoto slideshows and iMovie are some of the features offered by this software suite. Apple uses 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo ULV processor in the MacBook, mainly to support the Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics.

Apple’s 11.6 inch MacBook Air offer 2 USB ports against the single USB port featured by previous MacBook versions. However, it lacks the SD card slot that was found in the earlier versions. Another feature that this new MacBook lacks is the backlit keyboard, though the feature was missed by earlier MacBooks as well. Ethernet, Bluetooth and 802.11n Wi-Fi are all available to offer network connectivity support to the device.

This Laptop is indeed a good portable device, but its expensive price tag might reduce the number of buyers.
