[Ric]

Hi Chaps,

 

Ive just updated to a new macbook so my old one is up for sale:

 

It's a late 2010 model Macbook air 13" (Model A1369)

This was the first in the line of Macbook air's to be taken seriously, the all SSD storage and fast processor make the Macbook air a real contender for any power hungry app's (Reboot takes 5 seconds) and a start from cold is under 10 seconds, standby to on is virtually instant) and of course it's incredibly thin and light

I've been running Portal2 on this Macbook at very good playable frame rates (guessing 50fps or so) thanks to the dedicated Ram in the Nvidia graphics card (better than the 2011 Intel HD Graphics) and it handles Photoshop and Light room fine.

 

This was purchased while working abroad, so it has the Spanish international keyboard the layout of keys is the same as a UK keyboard but it has extra symbols etc for the Spanish language (see pics) Apple will still warrant the item in the UK.

The Macbook is in excellent condition, the screen is unmarked, as is the rest of the Unibody except one little mark (you have to catch the light right to even see it see picture) it comes fully boxed with all accessory's and documentation including the Apple reinstall USB Key.

Are you some sort of Apple product collector/whore? Are these as good as a 'proper' lap top or more a glorified netbook?

Lol, yes i'm a apple whore, i just tend to upgrade often, i have a larger model this time as i need more screen space for photo editing etc.

 

I'd say they are a proper laptop with the benefit of been small and light like the netbook, like i said, it plays games well and heavy apps such as photoshop, i cant see netbooks doing that..

 

If anything the 11" version would be more like a netbook, simply because of screen size, but they are again a proper laptop IMO

 

The only thing it's missing is a CD drive.. but when was the last time you used a CD drive on a laptop? everything is download these days, and you can use a PC's CD drive over Wifi if you really can't live without it, or USB drive of course.

My sis bought the latest 13" version with 4gb of ram and I must say that it is very fast and perfectly capable laptop. Who needs a DVD drive anyway
