Apple refreshes its MacBook Air line with new Sandy Bridge processor, Thunderbolt I/O and a backlit keyboard. It comes pre-loaded with new Mac OS X Lion. The MacBook Air comes in 11-inch and 13-inch models and has a durable aluminum unibody enclosure measures an incredibly thin 0.11-inches at its thinnest point and 0.68-inches at its thickest. The new MacBook Air (mid-2011) is powered by latest Intel Core i5/i7 Sandy Bridge processor, integrated Intel HD  Graphics 3000 and up to 4GB of memory. Like previous models, new models use flash storage for instant-on responsiveness and

Rumors flying around Apple’s future device plans suggest the MacBook Air notebooks may come spruced up with an integrated 3G chip at launch. The guess work seems to have been done on the basis of a recent Apple customer survey for MacBook Air users. Though Apple has announced the new MacBook Air the last year itself, not much has been revealed about the chances of it having 3G data connectivity. The survey from Apple is loaded with a lot queries regarding areas of 3G data connectivity, data syncing and similar things, which many point out as an indicator of a move to

Adamo is dead and gone! The laptop line that was created to take on Apple’s MacBook Air range has been pushed to the pages of tech history. By withdrawing the entire line of Adamo 13 devices, Dell has also ended some worthy competition to MacBook Air. First outed at CES 2009, the super slim Adamo 13 series can return a blank search on Dell now.  The Dell page says the entire product range is “no longer available.” The focus now seems to be on the heavier, thicker but faster XPS 15 and 17 models. The latest Dell action comes as no surprise, though. A journey down memory

Apple has released an EFI Firmware update for the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air notebooks which were released earlier this year. This move has been made by the company to resolve some display problems that were reported by some of the first buyers of the redesigned MacBook Air. The new update is said to resolve a “rare issue where MacBook Air boots or wakes to a black screen or becomes unresponsive.” When the device was reviewed earlier, some of the reviewers noticed flickering horizontal lines sometimes appearing on the display of the 13-inch notebook or displays

For the Cupertino based consumer electronics giant Apple, a war is always a war and this sentiment is propagated by the leader of the pack, Steve Jobs. Apple has been in conflict with Adobe for a pretty long time and ever since, all Apple gadgets to have surfaced have completely, out-rightly, shunned any Adobe branded software, Flash Player in particular. The latest of Apple gadgets to create a hubbub is the MacBook Air and it is beyond doubt that the notebook comes with a missing Adobe Flash Plugin. I am sure you are not curious to ask me the reason for this missing Plugin,

The Mac Event is over. The effects are just sinking in. We have told you what both MacBook Air 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch models have to offer. Now, there are many out there who have given a review of the latest notebooks from Apple. Some have ripped them open already and looked inside only to be left disappointed. We present a MacBook Air review that is a tad bit different, a bit wacky, but very simple to follow. What do we think you will end up paying for if and when you do buy the latest MacBook Air models from Apple? Let’s see… A picture speaks a thousand words, but then

First we took a look at the Mac Event today, as a whole, with a basic outline of the event that is aimed to give you a quick glance at the two MacBook Air models that just hit stores. Then we detailed the 11.6-inch MacBook Air for you. Now it’s time to sink into its big brother- the 13.3-inch MacBook Air. The 13.3-inch Air will cost you $1,299 for the very basic version and if you want added RAM or doubled Flash Storage, then the price goes up. Here are the specs and features for the ‘just out’ 13.3-inch variants of the MacBook Air: • 13.3-inch LED-backlit display with

Every time we start with ‘Steve Jobs says…’ we are tempted to finish the sentence with “I QUIT”. But that is the farthest thing from the truth at this point of time with Apple’s current boom. (And probably Jobs does take plenty of heat that is sometimes a bit unfair). But what Steve Jobs actually did tell us at the Mac Event is that we are soon going to see an ‘app store’ for Mac. Jobs said that the model for the Mac Apps Store will be similar to the current one used for iPhone; if not downright identical. The news from the Mac Event has not just thrown up the

First it was the turn of the warmers, then came Mac OS X Lion. And then finally we had the two big show-stoppers of the night come in and do what they do best- steal the spotlight. MacBook Air 11.6-inch and MacBook Air 13.3-inch Laptops were no doubt what most came to the Mac Event for and the announcement from Apple’s top boss seems to have left everyone pretty happy and satisfied for now. The current set of MacBook Air models is a lot cheaper than the previous set as they are set to hit the stores. This also means that if you wish to buy an older version of MacBook Air

The new MacBook Air 11.6-inch Laptop is finally here. With the official announcement now out of the way ( we knew this was coming since sometime), it is time to dig into the smaller of the two MacBook Air models that Steve Jobs just presented. (13-3 inch Air being the other). The basic version of the 11.6-inch MacBook Air will cost you $999. That will be the price tag of 11.6-inch 64GB version of the Air. The 128GB version sees you paying $1,199. There is no doubt that this version of the Air will be pretty popular as it will not only give the portability option, but should
