Does the Macbook Air do everything it says it does

Does the Mac Book Air do everything it says it does?? And how many stars would you give it??

I am using a Mac Air (2012 version) 1.7GHZ Dual core 11.6 inch. I have 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Apart from having to do a PRAM and SMC reset after installing ML, I have had no problems. I have been using this machine for 3 weeks now and highly recommend it.
To answer your question, it gets 5/5 for me. It is fast, versatile, and very powerful.

  • Can the macbook air do everything my pro does?

    can the macbook air do everything my pro does?

    Yes but slower, depending on how old your pro is. The cpu in the air models are slower then what is in the pro models. Slower cpu mean that everything works slower.

  • Does the MacBook Air run CS5 Design Premium?

    Hi, I really want to get the MacBook Air for school, and I really want to get Design Premium for personal reasons. So, I went to find the specs for the MacBook Air 1.6ghz (1st gen) and found everything to match the requirements, except I am unsure about the video card. I know the newest models (1.86ghz and 2.13ghz) will work, but I want to purchase mine used to save money, as it will only be a temporary computer. If you can, please help me by answering the following question:
    Will the MacBook Air (1.6ghz 1st gen) run CS5 Design Premium?
    Thanks!
    p.s. If it does not, please (if you can) tell me which of the models (1.8 (1st gen), 1.86 (2nd gen), 2.13 (2nd gen)) will Design Premium work well on

    I looking to make a website, create pictures (3D) using Photoshop Extended, and some other small things. Will the MacBook Air 1.6ghz suffice?

  • Does "windows on a mac" work on the macbook air?

    Does "windows on a mac" work on the macbook air? because watching the video, is says somthing about an installation disk. Many thanks

    Hi pglhi,
    You can absolutely install Windows onto your MacBook Air. There's two ways to do it:
    1.) Using BootCamp
    2.) Using virtualization software
    If you use BootCamp it natively installs the Windows operating system on a portion of your hard drive that you partition as a dedicated Windows environment. You typically want to allow about 15-20 GB for this at a minimum but your mileage may vary.
    With virtualization software you run Windows from within the OS X environment, using a program like Parallels Desktop, VMWare Fusion, etc. So you'd launch the Windows OS just like you'd start up a program. Because you're virtualizing the environment you're also "double dipping" into system resources. So the RAM and CPU usage that WIndows would be allocated is in addition to what's already being used by OS X. As such it can be a bit more demanding than a Boot Camp environment.
    But the MacBook Air can handle both, just fine. If you do go the route of Boot Camp you'll need an external CD/DVD drive - or - have USB drive configured to support the Windows installation environment.

  • Does the MacBook Air re-install drive for Mac OS (2011) re-format hard drive as well?

    Hello, my computer failed yesterday due to a Nbidia graphics card DOWNgrade, so I was wondering if the MacBook air re-install drive erase everything from your hard drive when you re-install it? Thanks!

    Yes, it certainly does have the tools to reformat the drive if desired. You can also reinstall the OS without reformatting, if you think the remedy of a simple "repair installation" is all that is necessary.

  • Does the Macbook Air run full, standalone versions of software or does it require special, streamlined apps?

    I'm looking to buy a Macbook. Will the Macbook Air load and run full, unabridged versions of Mac-compatible software, such as what I already own, or does it require only special "apps" versions such as the iPad and iPhone do? I realize that the Macbook Air blurb states you can wirelessly use another Mac's drive to load software onto a MBA or buy an add-on drive to connect it up and load software but my question is the performance capability of the MBA to actually run full versions of ALL OS X Mac-compatible software.

    The MacBook Air runs the identical operating system as any other Mac, and is subject to no arbitrary limitations imposed on the latest software, or by the latest software.
    The only remaining factor is hardware. All Mac software has it's own individual requirements for the system, that being the speed of the processor, the amount of memory, the type of graphics processor required, etc. Some select software, say intense game apps, will not run very well or at all on the MBA, and it simply the lack of a system's component compatibility of performance. But this is a factor present in all computers, nothing special about the MacBook Air.
    So, as long as the hardware is sufficient for the system requirements of the software, you can install and use any full version app designed for OS X Lion.

  • I am interested in buying a macbook laptop. I am confused however in which one I should buy for the type of work that I will be doing. I either am looking into getting a macbook pro or the macbook air. I am leaning more towards the air.

    A basic MBA will be more than adequate.  Take into consideration that storage may be a long term issue unless you are not averse to traveling with an external HDD.

    Just download and install 5.7.1. Don't worry about earlier versions.
    You'll need to enter your serial number to license the software.

    So it can be .mp4 format.
    If not you have to convert it.
    Try import it into iTunes then sync it to your iPad.

  • I recently bought a Macbook Air and a Thunderbolt Display and the laptop's power is supposed to come from the display, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

    I recently bought a 11" Macbook Air and a 27" Thunderbolt Display.The laptop's power is supposed to come from the display when connected, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

    If your MBair is a 2012 model, it has a Magsafe 2 power connection.  The monitor probably has the old magsafe connection.  If this is the case, you need this adapter.

    I don't know what service options are available in India but if this helps I do know that once you purchase your Apple product the warranty is valid anywhere in the world.

  • Does the MacBook air now has backlit keyboard?

    As I've seen discussions on the web which saying the backlit keyboard of the MacBook air has removed. Is that true?

    Most, if not all Apple notebook computers, have had this backlit keyboard option. Or so I've read at least. I've never owned an Apple notebook computer before buying my MBA 13 (late 2010) and it doesn't have a backlit keyboard. I don't miss it because I've never had it on a keyboard and know how to type well. Before the blasting about "That's not the only reason to have a backlit keyboard" rants start, I know there are many reasons to have a backlit keyboard, and thankfully I don't require it. I think I'll appreciate it as an option on my next Apple notebook.
