The 11″ Apple MacBook Air’s 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo offers an ultra-low voltage (ULV) processor chip. A common problem I’ve got with this processor chip is the fact that it’s powered by a preceding-generation Intel technology. Meanwhile, the Acer 1830T (Core i5-430um) and Asus UL20FT-A1 run using Intel’s most recent Core processor chips-also with the ULV variant, but considerably faster. The 2 options contain 2GB of DDR3 memory; increasing memory to 4 gigabytes will definitely cost a bit more of your money. In the mean time, almost all of the Air’s peers are making standard the 4 gigabytes of DDR3 memory. Both of these components (CPU & RAM) were drags on capabilities.

The computers are ranked using performance benchmark checks, however do not forget, operating general performance benchmark tests may not necessitate whether a particular task can be performed; it’s how fast it may be done compared to other computers in its category. In this case, the MacBook Air isn’t the quickest laptop computer. It took practically four times as long to encode a movie than a comparable laptop. Given that Adobe Photoshop test is memory intensive, the Apple laptop trailed against similar Toshiba and Asus notebook computers.

The reason Apple chose to stick with a Core 2 Duo was so that it could employ an improved graphics platform, especially Nvidia’s integrated one. The Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics chip is the MacBook Air’s one redeeming characteristic regarding performance. I tried numerous 1080p and 720p high-definition videos, at substantial bit rates, and the Air displayed them marvelously. For those who are concerned with high temperature, the base of the system was measured at 83-87 degrees Fahrenheit even while playing back an HD video and rendering an image with Adobe Photoshop CS5. High temperature is not a concern from what has been reported thus far Let us have a look at the battery now.

The 35WH battery may be the piece that consumes most of the space inside, yet the capacity is the same as a 4-cell. That’s not significant, but Apple made the most of it. According to Apple, its light laptop will give you nearly 5 hours of Web surfing time. We examined it playing a MP4 video clip in Mac OS 10.6.4, a much more intense way of completely using up the battery compared to Internet surfing. The MacBook Air ended in 3 hours, 44 minutes. We also performed a battery rundown in Windows 7, using MobileMark 2007, which doesn’t utilize MAC OS 10′s energy management systems. The Macbook Air completed in 3 hours 52 minutes, which is certainly well shy of Acer’s and Toshiba’s eight hour ratings. It may also help that the Acer and the Toshiba laptops have much more substantial battery packs.

In conclusion, the computer’s efficiency is not flawless, but it should not let you down. You could definitely do worse, especially in terms of compact and lightweight laptops. This notebook computer is still far in front of netbook computers.

If you are curious about the Apple Macbook Air’s performance, you should explore this great Macbook Air performance article.

The new Atom cpu from Intel will make us work and study faster! These powerful netbook cpus are coming out a bit earlier than anticipated.

We are talking about the new Atom N280 from Intel, with a 1667 MHz clock, it will use 2 watts only. You’ll find the N280 in the Asus Eee Pc 1000HE and Acer Aspire One D150, but likely more netbooks will use it in the next months. Speed and energy savings are not the only features.

Along with the cpu, a new chipset, the GN40, will allow the Atom to play back HD video at 720p. It’s clear that Intel is trying to face the Nvidia Ion Platform which combines an Atom processor with an Nvidia chip, being able to reach 1080p HD graphics.

In april we’ll be able to see also a new Intel cpu, this time the clock will be at 1860 MHz. The name of the cpu is Z540, but I’m sure we’ll see even more features carried out by Intel for that month and the next ones.

In the meantime, let’s buy a new netbook with the Atom N280. Don’t forget to buy also a couple of movies to try the HD video!
