Apple MacBook Air - 1.8 GHz

Apple MacBook Air Case


This product is Apple Macbook Air 1.8Ghz. First of all, the new MacBook Air 1.86 GHz is identical to the first generation of Apple's extremely lightweight laptops. Inside, it's quite different, offering a new and faster processor, upgraded video circuitry, a faster frontside bus, speedier RAM, and a new display connector. As a result, the second-generation MacBook Air is superior to the original. However, the substantial upgrades that Apple has made to the rest of the MacBook line threaten to narrow the MacBook Air's already limited appeal even further.

Specification of Apple Macbook such as :
* Mac OS X v10.5.1 Leopard and Windows Vista Ultimate
* Intel Core 2 Duo P7500 1.6GHz (4MB L2 cache, 800MHz frontside bus)
* 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
* 80GB 4200rpm parallel ATA hard disk drive
* 13.3" glossy widescreen TFT LED backlit display (1280 x 800)
* Intel GMA X3100 graphics (144MB of shared memory)
* iSight webcam
* AirPort Extreme WiFi (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n)
* Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
* Micro DVI, USB 2.0 port (480Mbps), Audio out
* Dimensions : 0.16-0.76", 12.8", 8.94" (H, W, D)
* Weight: 3.0 pounds (3lbs 0.6oz actual)
* Integrated 37-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery
* 45W MagSafe power adapter with cable management system (6.5oz)


In additon, the machine seemed to enjoy running inside Vista more than it did OS 10, but bugs were prevalent all throughout bootcamp with the current Apple-provided drivers. The touchpad was the source of many problems, including six bluescreens and 30+ touchpad lockups from "multiple touches." While the features worked occasionally trying to use the scrolling motions or even tapping multiple fingers on the touchpad would be enough to lock until a reboot. The bluescreens would often come at random, with the culprit always being the "Applemtp.sys" driver crashing. More than a few times the machine would bluescreen when I was not even touching anything on the notebook. The keyboard backlight was another source of problems, rarely working inside Vista. 10% of the time the backlight worked from system startup, but would quickly turn off 5-10 minutes later. When you would try to adjust the brightness the on-screen display would display an "X" as if the device was not present.

Finally this product is real laptop with very nice design and completed features, how about you?
