Intel Core i5 and i7 processors.Performance that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Both the 11‐ and 13‐inch MacBook Air now feature the latest generation of Intel processors, the Core i5 and i7. With speeds up to 1.8GHz and faster memory, the new MacBook Air gains up to 2.5x the processing performance over the previous generation. MacBook Air also features the Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor, which includes an on‐chip engine for video encoding and decoding. That means you experience video playback and FaceTime calls that are smoother, more responsive, and more true to life.

Thunderbolt I/O.Lightning‐fast data transfer.

With one port, MacBook Air gives you access to a world of high‐speed peripherals capable of transferring data up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0. Or use the Thunderbolt port to connect the new Apple Thunderbolt Display and transform your ultracompact MacBookAir into a complete desktop workstation. Power over 4 million eye‐popping pixels while enjoying some major benefits: Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800, an additional Thunderbolt port, three USB ports, a FaceTime HD camera, 2.1 stereo sound, and a built‐in microphone. The display even charges your MacBook Air, so there’s no need to unpack and unravel your power adapter. With two quick connections — the MagSafe power cord and the Thunderbolt cable — you’re up and running in seconds. Unplug them, and you’re on your way just as fast.

Thunderbolt is a revolutionary I/O technology that supports high‐resolution displays and high‐performance data devices through a single, compact port. It sets new standards for speed,

flexibility, and simplicity. And it’s on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini.

Powerful technology from a powerful collaboration.Thunderbolt began at Intel Labs with a simple concept: create an incredibly fast input/output technology that just about anything can plug into. After close technical collaboration between Intel and Apple, Thunderbolt emerged from the lab to make its appearance in Mac computers.

Intel co‐invented USB and PCI Express, which have become widely adopted technologies for data transfer. Apple invented FireWire and was instrumental in popularizing USB. Their collective experience has made Thunderbolt the most powerful, most flexible I/O technology ever in a personal computer.

One small port. One giant leap in possibilities.MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac mini now give you access to a world of high‐speed peripherals and high‐resolution displays with one compact port. That’s because Thunderbolt is based on two fundamental technologies: PCI Express and DisplayPort.

PCI Express is the technology that links all the high‐performance components in a Mac. And it’s built into Thunderbolt. Which means you can connect external devices like RAID arrays and video capture solutions directly to your Mac — and get PCI Express performance. That’s a first for any computer. Thunderbolt also provides 10 watts of power to peripherals, so you can tackle workstation‐class projects. With PCI Express technology, you can use existing USB and FireWire peripherals — even connect to Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks — using simple adapters.

All that power and blazing‐fast data transfer flows through the Apple Thunderbolt Cable, one of the most advanced cables ever made. No single cable has been able to do so many things and do them with such astonishing speed. It doesn’t just connect high‐performance devices. It is one in its own right.

And because Thunderbolt is based on DisplayPort technology, the video standard for high‐resolution displays, any Mini DisplayPort display plugs right into the Thunderbolt port. To connect a DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA display, just use an existing adapter.

Performance and expansion made faster and smarter.Thunderbolt I/O technology gives you two channels on the same connector with 10 Gbps of throughput in both directions. That makes Thunderbolt ultrafast and ultraflexible. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800. You also have more than enough bandwidth to daisy‐chain multiple high‐speed devices without using a hub or switch. For example, you can connect several high‐performance external disks, a video capture device, and even a display to a single Thunderbolt chain while maintaining maximum throughput.

High performance on display.Thunderbolt I/O technology provides native support for the Apple Thunderbolt Display and Mini DisplayPort displays. It also supports DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, and VGA displays through the use of existing adapters. So you can connect your Apple LED Cinema Display or other display, along with multiple high‐speed devices, all from a single port.

No project is too massive.With Thunderbolt, you’re just as likely to build a professional video setup around your MacBook Pro or iMac as your Mac Pro. If you’re a video editor, imagine using a single port to connect high‐performance storage, a high‐resolution display, and high‐bit‐rate video capture devices to handle all the post‐production for a feature film. Thunderbolt I/O technology allows you to daisy‐chain up to six Thunderbolt peripherals, including an Apple Thunderbolt Display and the Promise Pegasus RAID or LaCie Little Big Disk. You can even add an Apple LED Cinema Display to the end of the chain.

And that’s just the beginning. With Thunderbolt technology, peripheral manufacturers finally have what they need to take high‐performance devices from workstations and top‐of‐the‐line desktops to just about any computer.

Thunderbolt‐ready devices.Soon you’ll be able to connect to a host of Thunderbolt‐enabled devices.1 Here are just a few of the first:

Display Apple Thunderbolt Display

Storage Promise Pegasus R4 and Pegasus R6 LaCie Little Big Disk Sonnet Fusion RAID

Video Capture Blackmagic UltraStudio 3D Matrox MX02

Adapters Promise SAN Link Fibre Channel adapter Sonnet Allegro FireWire 800 adapter Sonnet Presto Gigabit Ethernet adapter

You’ve never seen a display quite like this. With built‐in Thunderbolt technology, it doesn’t just give you more pixels. It gives you more possibilities.

Double up on displays. Connect two high‐resolution Apple Thunderbolt Displays to your MacBook Pro.

No shortage of ports. A Thunderbolt port, three USB 2.0 ports, a FireWire 800 port, and a Gigabit Ethernet port give you lots of options.

Add on. And on. And on. Daisy‐chain up to six high‐performance devices for a complete desktop workstation.

Thunderbolt technology. Built right in.The fastest, most flexible I/O ever lets this display do things others simply can’t.

Thunderbolt I/O technology lets you move data between your devices and your computer with unprecedented speed. With two channels of 10‐Gbps throughput in both directions, it’s up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800. And it allows you to connect as many as six devices through a single, compact port. Now, for the first time, all that power and flexibility is available through a port built right into your display. Which makes the Apple Thunderbolt Display so much more than just a pretty screen.

The ultimate docking station.With built‐in Thunderbolt and MagSafe connections, the Apple Thunderbolt Display transforms any new Mac notebook into a complete desktop workstation.

MagSafe connector.

The Thunderbolt Display includes a MagSafeconnector that powers and charges your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air. The connector sits on your desk, ready and waiting. No need to unwind the cord to the power adapter that came with your notebook. Leave it exactly where it is, in your bag.

Do more with MacBook Air.

Connect MacBook Air to the Thunderbolt Display and you can do even more with a computer that already does a lot. Like adding FireWire peripherals, connecting to Ethernet networks at gigabit speeds, and making large‐as‐life, HD video calls to other Mac users with the built‐in FaceTime HD camera.

One‐cable convenience. Thunderbolt versatility.

With its 27‐inch LED‐backlit screen, the new Thunderbolt Display delivers a brilliant viewing experience. But connect it to any Thunderbolt‐enabled Mac, and it becomes a plug‐and‐play hub for everything you do. You get 27 inches of high‐resolution screen space, high‐quality audio, a FaceTime HD camera, and support for FireWire 800 and Gigabit Ethernet. All through a single connection.

Expand the capabilities of your MacBook Pro.

Connect two Thunderbolt Displays to a 15‐or 17‐inch MacBook Pro or to an iMac and put an extra 7 million pixels to work. To make a desktop workstation out of your MacBookPro, just daisy‐chain additional Thunderbolt devices, including high‐performance storage and video and audio capture devices, through the display.

See the bigger picture.A 27‐inch widescreen display with LED backlight technology. Stunning is an understatement.

A bigger display for your biggest ideas.

Connect your Thunderbolt‐enabled Mac to the Apple Thunderbolt Display for a panoramic viewing experience unlike any other. This huge 27‐inch glossy widescreen display features a cinematic 16:9 aspect ratio and an astonishing 2560‐by‐1440 resolution. That gives you more room to work with apps on your MacBookAir. More pixels for your MacBook Pro. And a worthy desktop companion to your iMac or Mac mini.

LED backlighting. Bright on.

Full brightness with no waiting. That’s the big advantage of LED backlight technology. Unlike most displays that take time to warm up before they reach maximum brightness, an LED‐backlit display is instantly on and uniformly bright. LED backlighting also gives you greater control over screen brightness. So you can tune the Thunderbolt Display to suit the ambient light in even the dimmest room.

Crystal clear from every angle.

The Thunderbolt Display looks great from any seat in the house, thanks to a premium display technology called in‐plane switching (IPS). IPS delivers a bright picture with excellent color consistency, even if you’re viewing the display from the side.

Big, beautiful sound.

The Thunderbolt Display gives you more than video. It gives you audio, too. The built‐in speaker system includes an integrated subwoofer that delivers immersive, full‐range sound for music, movies, and games.

Built‐in FaceTime HD camera and microphone.

With the built‐in FaceTime HD camera and microphone, you can connect your Mac desktop or notebook — open or closed — and make HD video calls or take a few snapshots using Photo Booth.

Ambient light sensor.

The ambient light sensor intelligently adjusts the brightness of the Thunderbolt Display to your room environment. This gives you the perfect brightness for any situation while using the least amount of energy necessary.

Smooth‐motion hinge.

Tilt the Thunderbolt Display to get the viewing angle that’s best for you. With its smooth‐motion hinge, adjustment is effortless. Choose an angle from ‐5 to 25 degrees.

All‐flash storage.Instant‐on gratification.

Devices like iPhone and iPad have already demonstrated the advantages of flash storage: reliability, speed, and efficiency. So the decision to use flash storage in an ultracompact notebook like MacBook Air made perfect sense. With flash, your computer starts up in almost no time and accesses data quickly. Flash also gives MacBook Air the astonishing ability to remain in standby mode for up to 30 days.3 Which means your MacBook Air snaps to in an instant, whether you open it tomorrow, next week, or next month.

Backlit ketboard.What you see I what you type.

As incredibly compact as MacBook Air is, it still manages to fit a full‐size keyboard that makes typing as natural as it is comfortable. And now the keyboard is backlit, so you can type with ease in even the dimmest light. A built‐in ambient light sensor detects changes in lighting conditions and adjusts the display and keyboard brightness automatically. From a seat in a sunny café to a seat on a cross‐country red‐eye, you’ll always have the perfect lighting for any environment.

Multi‐Touch Trackpad.It goes hand in hand with OS X Lion.

The Multi‐Touch gestures in OS X Lion make everything you do on MacBook Air more intuitive, direct, and fun. And the spacious Multi‐Touch trackpad is perfectly designed for them, whether it’s a three‐finger swipe to activate Mission Control or a four‐finger pinch to see all your apps in Launchpad. Gesture responses in Lion are smooth and realistic. So when you’re scrolling up and down a web page or swiping from one full‐screen app to another, it’s almost like you’re touching what you’re seeing.

Display, camera, and speakers.Impressive. In every sense.

High‐resolution display.Millions of pixels. Millimeters thin.

Corner to corner and pixel by pixel, the MacBook Air display is both an engineering feat and a design breakthrough. The display measures a mere 4.86 millimeters (0.19 inch) thin, yet the resolution is so high, you’ll feel like you’re looking at a much larger screen. And with good reason. The 11‐inch MacBook Air features a resolution equal to that of your typical 13‐inch notebook, while the 13‐inch MacBook Air wows with a resolution equivalent to a typical 15‐inch notebook.

FaceTime camera.Your smile goes for miles.

The wafer‐thin MacBook Air display houses something pretty huge: the FaceTime camera. It’s so thin —even thinner than the camera on iPhone 4 — you barely notice it, but it’s incredibly capable. Using the FaceTime for Mac app, you can make video calls with anyone who has a Mac, iPad 2, iPhone 4, or the latest iPod touch.

Stereo speakers.Heard but not seen.

Despite its compact form, MacBookAir delivers full stereo sound. Space‐efficient design inside the enclosure allows for the placement of left and right speakers that project sound through thekeyboard. So you’re able to enjoy a richer audio experience while chatting online, watching TV shows, listening to music, orplaying games.

Long‐lasting battery.Instant on. Ever after a month off.

Since space‐saving flash storage leaves room for a bigger battery, you can devote more time to the things you enjoy most. Things like browsing the web, editing photos, and watching videos. Get up to 5 hours of battery life on a single charge on the 11‐inch model and up to 7 hours on the 13‐inch model. Put MacBook Air to sleep, and it enters standby mode to conserve battery life for up to 30 days.When you come back to your MacBook Air and open it up, it’s on in an instant.

Connectivity.You’re free to go.

When you’re wireless, you’re truly mobile. That’s why MacBook Air features 802.11n Wi‐Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 technology. Wireless connectivity allows you to browse the web, send email, and print documents no matter where you are.4 MacBook Air weighs almost nothing, so you can go from room to room, dorm to dorm, or cubicle to cubicle and stay connected. Being wireless also means you can download apps from the Mac App Store anytime you want. With thousands of Mac apps available for download with just a few clicks, you don’t have to bother with going to the store to buy software on disc or worry about a growing pile of CDs and DVDs. Apps download instantly right on your Mac. If plugged in is what you want to be, MacBook Air has you covered there, too. Two USB 2.0 ports, an SD card slot (on the 13‐inch model), and a headphone port give you plenty of options. And the Thunderbolt port connects to the new Apple Thunderbolt Display and high‐speed Thunderbolt peripherals such as external hard drives.

If a notebook is thin and light enough to carry with you everywhere you go, it should be powerful enough to handle everything you do. The new MacBook

Air is more than up to the task —whatever the task may be.

Intel Core i5 and i7 Processors

Now with the latest Intel Core processors — a Core i5 up to 1.7GHz or an optional 1.8GHz Core i7 — and speedier DDR3 memory, the new MacBook Air is up to 2.5x as fast as the previous generation, yet it weighs next to nothing. Applications run faster and more efficiently than before. So everything you normally do on a computer you can do even quicker. Send email, write reports, create presentations, touch up photos, edit home movies, and all the little (and big) tasks in between. And since the Core i5 and i7 processors feature a graphics processor with an on‐chip engine for video encoding and decoding, you’ll notice longer battery life when watching iTunes movies or making FaceTime video calls.

“Wow, that was fast.” With MacBook Air, you’ll find yourself saying that a lot. Because flash storage is up to two times faster than a conventional hard drive, everything you do is more responsive and immediate — starting up, browsing a large photo library, launching applications, and opening files, for instance. When you combine the speed of flash storage with a fast dual‐core processor and power‐efficient graphics, your entire MacBook Air experience feels turbocharged. And flash storage doesn’t have any moving parts, which means it’s more reliable and quiet. Lightning fast, durable, silent — qualities that make sense in a notebook tasked with keeping up with you.

All‐Flash Storage

High‐Speed Thunderbolt I/OThe breakthrough I/O technology pioneered on MacBook Pro and iMac now comes to MacBook Air, letting you connect multiple high‐performance devices — such as external hard drives — through a single port. With two 10‐Gbps data channels, Thunderbolt lets you transfer data at rates up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0. Thunderbolt technology gives MacBook Air capabilities it’s never had before. Like attaching FireWire peripherals or connecting to Ethernet networks at gigabit speeds — two big gains from one tiny port.3 You can also use the Thunderbolt port to connect MacBookAir to the ultimate docking station: the new Apple Thunderbolt Display. When you do, your MacBook Air transforms into so much more. That’s because the Thunderbolt Display includes Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800, an additional Thunderbolt port, three USB ports, a FaceTime HD camera, 2.1 stereo sound, and a built‐in microphone. Together MacBook Air and the Thunderbolt Display create a powerful setup for work or play.
