Nowadays,
it is undeniable that gadgets have played a vital role of usefulness in our
daily lives to the extent that boredom is a certainty to happen with their
absence. Equally important is the fact that gadgets of this generation may be
figuratively considered as one of our arsenals to success in school, work, or
in any aspect of life. It is a truism that as we continue to live with and
depend on them each day, they become part of our being.
One
of the most useful gadgets in the present time is the laptop because of its
attribute of being portable. In this connection, one must ask if what brand of
laptop is worth your money or is it alright to sacrifice quality over money? Or
do you prefer a laptop that is fashionable and trendy? These are some of the
things that are to be greatly considered. Of course, it is undisputed that each
of us has our own preference on the kind and attributes of a laptop we choose
in accordance with how it would serve us best and give us the ultimate return
of our investments. If I were to buy, I would personally go for a laptop that
is classy, speedy, and worth my money with the longest battery life that will
allow me to work as much as I desire without
having to look for a wall outlet to plug the wires. That’s a big time hassle!
The most interesting laptop to date is the new MacBook Air, which
defines the modern lightweight laptops. Here are some of the many well
appreciated attributes of the new MacBook Air:

The 13-inch model weighs in at 2.96 pounds and the 11-inch at 2.38 pounds, just like the previous-generation
models. It is thin, light, durable, and incredibly fast. This would allow an
owner to carry it everywhere in the house, school, restaurants, hotels, or any
other place without building muscles.
State-of-the
art technology
Both
of the aforementioned models now run on OS X Mavericks, a first-rate computer
operating system which adds new features and
capabilities ranging from the application you use every day to the most
advanced security features that empowers your Mac the more. The new MacBook Air is the first Apple portables with
Intel’s fourth-generation Core i-series processor, code-named “Haswell”,
which was pitched as being incredibly power-efficient. Having operated by
Haswell processor, battery life is where the new MacBook Air really stands out.
The previous generation 11-inch Air runs for 5 hours while the new 2013 model
runs up to 9 hours. And the most astonishing battery life performance is
acquired by the 13-inch Air, which runs for 12 hours (some even say it even
lasted for 14 hours), a 5-hour difference from its predecessor.
In addition, another important feature that the new MacBook Air
possesses is its support for the ultra-fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology. Though most homes have 802.11n router, having an 802.11ac
wireless adapter on a laptop is a nice piece of future-proofing. When connected
to an 802.11ac router, the wireless performance is up to 3 times faster than
with the previous generation of MacBook Air. It has an extended wireless range,
which can keep you connected anywhere in your house. And with Bluetooth
technology, you can connect the MacBook Air to other Bluetooth-enabled devices
(e.g. speakers and headphones), which can keep you totally connected even
without wires.
Definitely
worth a dime
Needless
to say, when it comes to fashionable and elegant laptops, Mac is definitely
your thing. It has been considered by many as the epitome of modern-day
laptops. It is also one of the most desired technologies included in the bucket
list by most professionals because of its tempting and splendid designs. Not
just that, with the new Air versions, Apple gives you a bit more value for your
money than you got from its previous versions, since the 13-inch model is
priced at $100 less than its predecessor
(only $1099), while the 11-inch model is only at $999.
So, if I were to be asked whether the new MacBook Air is
worth my money – definitely a BIG TIME YES!
