Apple MacBook Air 13.3 Laptop on BidsTick.com

The second incarnation of the Apple MacBook Air 13.3 laptop has changed little since its predecessor was first released in January 2008. It still lacks some essential features like an optical drive and Ethernet port among others. Still, the machine comes with some major positives like its extremely thin profile, the powder-silver finish, the low weight and outstanding build quality.

But don’t dismiss it just yet; the new version of the MacBook Air—like all others in the new MacBook line—now comes with an Nvidia chipset, giving it a significant edge over version 1.0 with its superior graphics capabilities. Although this addition slightly affects the notebook’s battery time as well as its noise and heat output, it’s a price most techies are willing to pay for this beauty.

Along with that is the Apple MacBook Air 13.3 laptop’s backlit keyboard with the usual split keys featured on all MacBooks, making it a breeze to type on the device.

You also get Apple’s super-wide multi touch trackpad. Users will find it pleasing to use – having the capability of using a double finger swipe to scroll, tapping two fingers for a right-click and a four-finger swipe for Expose. Applications bundled with OS X are a delight to use with this trackpad.

The bottom line is that the Apple MacBook Air 13.3 laptop is by no means a desktop replacement. It was never meant to be anyway, so don’t except robust features. There isn’t any optical drive and Ethernet port, only one USB port, a fixed battery and no 3G support. However, aesthetics come at a price and the new  MacBook Air certainly does not disappoint. Again, Apple manages to combine elegance and functionality with grace. With its super slim look it’s a must have for every Apple fan and fashion conscious techie out there. Interested?

Apple MacBook Air

Apple’s self acclaimed “world’s thinnest notebook”, The Apple MacBook Air is no doubt a beauty to behold. With the aluminum material used for the MacBook Air’s chassis, pulling one out of a Louis Vuitton bag wherever your nomadic feet takes you is guaranteed to turn heads at the very least if not drop jaws depending on the general “high techness” level of the place. And if looks alone is what you need in a capable notebook, then this one is sure to exceed your expectations both in form and even on function.

The MacBook Air that we have been featuring on our penny auction comes not only with the looks but with the brains to match thanks to its standard Intel Core 2 Duo Processor that clocks at 1.6 GHz. This paired with the all powerful and mighty Geforce 9400M dedicated graphics accelerator from Nvidia and 2 GB worth of RAM and you have for yourself one gorgeously looking notebook that is more than capable of handling your 3d intensive processes at just 0.16 inches on its thinnest point and at just a little over a kilogram.

Although qualms about the Apple MacBook Air in terms of its beauty and function, it should also be noted that this is not exactly built for everyone especially with some of the necessities it had to compromise to get to where it’s at right now.

This might not be able to replace your trustworthy Apple iMac just yet, but it is definitely one notebook a road warrior can write home about just simply because of its performance, aesthetics, and the more than needed 5 hours of battery juice.
