14 DAY TRIAL // Those saving cash for one day to be able to buy the elusive MacBook Air may have waited long enough, as Apple's Special Deals section is currently listing a unit as available for under $1000. Normally, the low-end (HDD) MacBook Air model retails for $1,799.
The refurbished MacBook Air boasts a 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM, 80GB 4200-rpm Parallel ATA hard disk drive, Built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display with a built-in iSight Camera.
The 13.3-inch widescreen LED backlit display delivers 1280-by-800 resolution for vibrant images and rich colors. The LED technology conserves battery life, according to Apple, who also has quite an environmental status report on the laptop.
The full-size illuminated keyboard enables owners to use the MacBook Air anywhere, while the trackpad adopts many of the innovative Multi-Touch gestures from the iPhone, so users can pinch, swipe or rotate stuff on screen. Remote Disc comes into assistance due to the lack of an optical drive. Nevertheless, the feature allows you to access the DVD or CD drive of a nearby Mac or Windows PC, in order to install software or retrieve files.
However, the most impressive features of the MacBook Air are undoubtedly its reduced size and weight.
Height: 0.16-0.76 inch (0.4-1.94 cm) Width: 12.8 inches (32.5 cm) Depth: 8.94 inches (22.7 cm) Weight: 3.0 pounds (1.36 kg).
The notebook can be yours for $999 if you hurry up. Also, if you live in The States, it ships within 24 hours. Go here to make the buy.
