Mac Book Air’s Introduction, Design, Features And Wireless Connectivity

Introduction Of MacBook Air

The World’s Thinnest NoteBook

MacBook Air is ultrathin, ultraportable, and ultra unlike anything else. But you don’t lose inches and pounds overnight. It’s the result of rethinking conventions. Of multiple wireless innovations. And of breakthrough design. With MacBook Air, mobile computing suddenly has a new standard.

What makes the
Air so thin?

MacBook Air is nearly as thin as your index finger. Practically every detail that could be streamlined has been. Yet it still has a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi-touch trackpad. It’s incomparably portable without the usual ultraportable screen and keyboard compromises.

So many innovations.
So little space.

The incredible thinness of MacBook Air is the result of numerous size- and weight-shaving innovations. From a slimmer hard drive to strategically hidden I/O ports to a lower-profile battery, everything has been considered and reconsidered with thinness in mind.

Built for the
wireless world.

MacBook Air is designed and engineered to take full advantage of the wireless world. A world in which 802.11n Wi-Fi is now so fast and so available, people are truly living untethered — buying and renting movies online, downloading software, and sharing and storing files on the web.

15 iPhone games in 2008

MacNN reports that Gameloft, one of the leading developers of games for Apple’s iPod and iPod Nano lines has declared that they will produce at least 15 games for the iPhone in 2008. Frankly, I wish they’d slow down a bit and produce 1 or 2 quality games, instead of shoving 15 out the door. The iPhone gaming market is already looking kind of crowded. With indy developers already tinkering with the iPhone SDK as well, you can expect a plethora of games to hit the iPhone – the question is…how many of them will be good?

Ms Office 2008 For Mac

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac OS X is prettier than its predecessors. Fortunately,  the upgrade is more than skin deep.
While many parts of the suite’s component programs — Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage — appear the same or are identical, new and reorganized features increase the suite’s utility. Notably, Word has graduated from word processing to true page layout on the Mac after decades of meager attempts. Office for Mac was rewritten between its last version in 2004 and release on this January, which was previewed in 2007.
Apple moved from IBM/Freescale PowerPC chips to Intel’s lineup, and Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Word and other large applications couldn’t simply have a switch thrown to perform at their best.
