You won't find a standard SATA hard drive on this extremely thin laptop, but an SSD of 256GB (45% faster than what previous models had) that makes it ultra super fast in everything you do- including boot-ups, resume from hibernation or overall amazing performance.

Both the screen and the keyboard are backlit and can be arranged easily to what you prefer in terms of brightness, whether you are working in the dark or in daylight. The touch pad underneath the beautifully designed keyboard very intuitive, responsive and is so easy to use, you won't need an external mouse. The operating system on the new Macbook Air, OSX Mountain Lion is a completely integrated system with the Mac processor to give you the best of power, speed and efficiency.

In terms of connectivity.. The new 802.11ac Wi-Fi wireless connection has a bigger wireless range and is up to 3 times faster than the standard wireless you'll find on other laptops and the previous generation Macbook Airs. It includes a super-speed Thunderbolt port (20 times faster than USB 2.0 ports) and two USB 3.0 ports (up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 ports) for you to connect to high performance peripherals and external displays. Webcam is the 720p Facetime Camera with beautiful picture quality and dual microphones. Thanks to now a larger battery and a more energy efficient Haswell processor, you get up to amazing 12 hours of battery life. You can also put it on sleep mode for up to 30 days. The new Macbook Air is 0.68 inches at its thickest and only 0.11 inches at its thinnest point and it weighs 2.96 pounds. It is the thinnest, lightest laptop with the most brilliant looks.

Summary: You only get the best of the best with the new Macbook Air MD761LL-A: The latest Haswell i5 processor, super fast 256GB SSD, up to 12 hours battery life, high-resolution LED backlit display, backlit keyboard, intuitive touchpad, the best quality all aluminium case and more..
