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 MacBook
Air 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:

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.

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.

notebook, while the 13‐inch
MacBook Air wows with a resolution
equivalent to a typical 15‐inch
notebook.

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.

All‐Flash Storage
“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.

High‐Speed Thunderbolt I/O
The 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 MacBook
Air 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.
