Small size. Huge performance.

While many notebooks skimp on graphics performance in favour of a smaller design, MacBook Air uses a graphics processor that economises space in a whole new way. Most computer logic boards contain multiple components: the CPU, two chips that control communication throughout the computer and the graphics processor. But the logic board in MacBook Air contains only two components: the CPU and a graphics processor with all of the core logic built into a single chip. That graphics processor is the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and it helps MacBook Air reach new levels of graphics performance — without sacrificing battery life.

Gamers, rejoice.

Games get up to a 6x performance boost in MacBook Air, compared to the original model.¹ Power your way through the 3D environments of Call of Duty, Quake 4 and Doom 3. Enjoy faster, smoother, more responsive gameplay. Game graphics look crisper, they’re more finely detailed and they make the most of the brilliant LED-backlit display.

Get more out of iLife.

iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb — they all spring to life on MacBook Air. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can flip through photos, edit movies or build a company blog.

Work smart. And fast.

You can make great-looking proposals, spreadsheets and presentations with iWork.² And you can do it all on MacBook Air. Need to build a Keynote presentation? The great graphics performance in MacBook Air means slides build with ease, graphics render quickly and transitions play smoothly.

Unleash Mac OS X Leopard.

At the heart of every MacBook Air is Mac OS X Leopard with its visually stunning user interface and application animations. Improved graphics performance in MacBook Air makes everything in Mac OS X — Quick Look, iChat effects, Cover Flow, Time Machine and hundreds of other graphical elements — respond smoothly and quickly.

Even the DisplayPort is Mini.

MacBook Air has a small port that makes a big difference. The Mini DisplayPort is an industry-standard port that delivers a pure digital connection to external displays — even large 30-inch displays — quickly and without a glitch. No more multiple-pin connectors with unwieldy screws; the ultracompact Mini DisplayPort gives you plug-and-play performance with the Apple LED Cinema Display. And it supports VGA, DVI and dual-link DVI connections, too.
