The Apple MacBook Air "Core 2 Duo" 1.4 11" from late 2010 is driven by a 1.4 GHz Intel "Core 2 Duo" processor (SU9400), which integrates two independent cores on a single chip, a 3 MB shared level 2 cache, and an 800 MHz frontside bus.
It is configured with 2 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM soldered to the motherboard (with a 4 GB option available only at the time of purchase), a choice of 64 GB or 128 GB of flash storage, and an NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor sharing 256 MB of DDR3 SDRAM with main memory. The device also includes an integrated "FaceTime" video camera, a full-size keyboard without backlighting (though with smaller function keys), and an 11.6-inch widescreen TFT LED-backlit active-matrix "glossy" display with a 1366x768 native resolution, all within a remarkably thin (0.11-0.68 inch), 2.3-pound aluminum chassis.
For connectivity, it offers AirPort Extreme (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, two USB 2.0 ports, analog audio out, and a Mini DisplayPort for video output supporting an external 30-inch display. The model omits an internal Ethernet port (a US$29 external adapter was an option), as well as Firewire and optical audio I/O.
A significant departure from its predecessors, this MacBook Air model features a completely redesigned housing with an 11.6-inch display and an "inertial" multitouch trackpad. It is also distinguished by its internal design. While retaining the onboard RAM and lack of an optical drive like earlier versions, it introduces flash storage and multiple internal battery cells not intended for user replacement. Apple promoted that this use of flash storage enabled "instant on" responsiveness, up to 30 days of standby time, a more slender profile, and enhanced battery performance.
