MacBook Air Is Green Friendly
Apples states that the MacBook Air is also Environmentally friendly. Apples product information states that the Air uses the least power of any Mac. It uses a highly recyclable aluminum case, Mercury free LCD display and arsenic free glass, PVC free internal cables, most of the packaging is recyclable plus the MacBook Air meets Energy Star requirements. The MacBook Air also received a Silver rating from EPEAT.
What Comes With the MacBook Air
The MacBook Air ships with a Micro DVI to DVI adapter, a Micro DVI to VGA adapter, a cleaning and polishing cloth, MagSafe power adapter, Install and Restore DVD's plus full documentation. If the Mac Book Air has a fault, it's that it doesn't come with some of the standard items that other light weight notebooks come with. But it's a Mac and it's air light, so we can put up with some things not being available to us..right?
According to Steve the new MacBook Air's will not start shipping for another 2 weeks. Only time will tell whether or not the MacBook Air will be the light weight power house that it has been hyped to be, but with all the features packed into this 3lb giant, it's certainly off to a good start! Keep watching for a full review of the Macbook Air when mine arrives!
