Faster is the only way to describe the Apple 11" MacBook Air. With an Intel i5 dual-core processor up to 2.5x faster than its previous generation, high-speed Thunderbolt port, and OS X Lion you'll get a chance to see speed and convenience incarnate. Oh, and it's still incredibly thin and portable, so you can be certain it'll keep up with you (as long as you can keep up with it).

Faster. A lot faster.

How could you possibly improve on perfection? Apple asks that very question every time they look at their products, and making the 2011 MacBook Air better was a challenge the met with their usual innovative spirit. Keeping the same thin body, light weight, and oh-so-sleek aluminum finish, the only changes you'll see are under the hood. By using Intel's Core i5 dual core processors, the 11" MacBook Air is up to 2.5x faster than its predecessor. That means faster apps. More multi-tasking. Less waiting. It also includes Apple's OS X Lion, giving you access to improvements like multi-touch trackpad commands, better app organization, auto-save features, and more. Lots more. With upgraded speed and a form factor made for mobility it's up in the air whether your MacBook is keeping up with you, or you with it.

Thunderbolt

Transferring data from external devices can be a slow process, whether it's high quality video from a camcorder, media or presentation files from an external hard drive, or music from a backup collection. Until now. With the Apple Thunderbolt input, developed in conjunction with Intel, you can expect read speeds up to 10GB per second â€” up to 20x faster than traditional USB 2.0 standards. That means you get to spend less time waiting for your files, because there are more important things to do than watch progress bars.

A flash of brilliance

What could possibly make MacBook Air, well, light as air? Try flash storage. One small slip of a chip, flash storage is fast, reliable, and efficient. Plus it gives MacBook Air the astonishing ability to remain in standby mode for up to 30 days. Which means your MacBook Air snaps to in an instant, whether you open it tomorrow, next week, or next month.

Hours of power

Built right into the 2011 11" MacBook Air is a breakthrough battery that lasts dramatically longer and does so without increasing the size or weight of MacBook. On a single charge, the battery in the MacBook Air lasts even longer — up to 5 hours of wireless productivity. Advanced chemistry and Adaptive Charging allows the battery to maintain charging capabilities longer and determines the optimal way to charge the battery's cells. Because the battery lasts up to five years, MacBook uses just one battery in the same time a typical notebook uses three. That makes for less waste. And that, in turn, makes for one environmentally-friendly battery.
