The Apple MacBook Air 13.3 Laptop, Eye Candy at its Best
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 black Macbooks 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 capabilit
y 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 13.3 Laptop 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? Head down to our Macbook review right now.
