The new Macbook Air.\u00a0 This new laptop is the thinest laptop in the world. Weighing in at only 3lbs.\u00a0 The thickest part of the laptop is only .76 inches.\u00a0 The thinest point is .16 inches.\u00a0 It has a 13.3 inch screen, a full size backlit keyboard, standard 2 GB Ram, 80 GB HD (option to upgrade to a 64 GB SSD HD for 1000 dollars) and a 1.6 Intel Core 2 Duo processor, and 5 hours of battery life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The movie rentals I feel are a little too expensive.\u00a0 You are given up to a month to watch the movie after renting, and once you start playing you have 24 hours to finish it.\u00a0 You can watch it more than once, but it has to be in that 24 hour time period.\u00a0 You are able to transfer to your ipod, laptop, or Apple TV.<\/p>\n<p>The Macbook Air&#8217;s battery is built into the computer like they are in the iPods.\u00a0 So if you are flying you can&#8217;t take an extra battery with for additional computing time. It does not have an optical drive built in.\u00a0 You have the option to buy an external super drive for 99 dollars, or they also give you the option to use other machines optical drives on your wireless network both mac and pc.\u00a0 The Macbook Air only has one USB port, no FireWire ports, no line in, and the line out is not optical.\u00a0 So if you are a power user that needs these functionalities then the Air is not for you.\u00a0 If your looking for a super portable laptop then this is the one for you. \u00a0 They retail at 1799.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was starting to do a long detailed blog post about the new things that Apple came out with, but then got tired going over all the details that no-one that reads my blog really cares about.\u00a0 So here it is in brief&#8230; New airport base station that has a hard drive in it for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/bill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/bill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/bill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/bill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/bill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/bill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/bill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/bill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bbryson.com\/bill\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
