I can't recall all of the specs and I'd encourage you to go to the Apple site at http://www.apple.com and read up on all the various models. I will tell you that in my opinion, the MacBook Air is a great machine for carrying to and from the office, school, or as a second machine. It is very light, very thin, and lacks a lot of what the larger MacBook and MacBook Pros have. That is correct, there is no CD/ DVD drive, you can however access one from the network on another machine if you choose with some software. They do have a full-size keyboard and are capable of handling a fair number of tasks, but heavy audio processing is not something you'd want to really do with the machine or probably running VmWare on it might not be the best option, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it can't be done. I myself gave my iMac to my wife since she would much prefer the 20-inch screen, but I opted to replace that machine with something equivalent, so I got a MacBook Pro. I ended up with the 15-inch model because I could not have gotten the cpu speed or other options I wanted since I was looking for a direct replacement for my iMac. All this to say if you decide to purchase a Mac, consider carefully all the things you will want to do. There is nothing worse than plunking down a chunk of change to find you didn't make the best choice.
Good luck, p to an 80Gb or 160Gb drive. There is only a usb connector and an audio out from On Jul 12, 2009, at 4:40 PM, May and Wynter wrote: > > Ah ok.
