Yesterday Apple announced a new MacBook Air during the Apple Back to the Mac Event. The new MacBook Air is faster, more reliable, and lighter and smaller due to solid state flash storage (SSD). Just like the iPad, the MacBook Air has instant-on, which means that it instantly turns on after you open the lid from standby mode. It has up to 7 hours battery life if you actively use it, or 30 days standby time. Notable changes in the MacBook Air hardware include a higher resolution, SSD, two usb ports, and an SD-card reader (only on 13-inch MacBook Air).

The new MacBook Air is available in 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch models, and weighs less than 2.3 pounds. The 1.4 GHz 11-inch MacBook Air with 2GB of memory and 64GB of flash storage starts at a suggested retail price of $999 (US) with a 128GB model for $1,199 (US). The 1.86 GHz 13-inch MacBook Air with 2GB of memory and 128GB of flash storage starts at a suggested retail price of $1,299 (US) with a 256GB model for $1,599 (US).

What’s missing from the MacBook Air is an optical drive. So if you want to use CD’s/DVD’s you’re out of luck! Instead of including a CD like Apple has done for their previous MacBook’s, a USB Flash drive is included so MacBook Air users can use their USB ports to re-install/restore their Mac. The new MacBook Air also does not have a backlit keyboard, if that matters to you at all. Surprisingly rather than using the modern Intel Core i3 processor for the new MacBook Air, Apple decided to use the older Intel Core 2 Duo processor instead. You can check out the new MacBook Air at Apple’s website.
