Today we talk about upgrading laptop MacBook Air, though this is the update happened some time ago and touched an internal "decoration", Foreign Air remained so, as before. But even this is the essence of the material, having lived with different "air" for a year now, I have accumulated a certain number of thoughts on how, and without threads.
Thus, all differences in one sentence: Mini DisplayPort instead miniDVI, graphics card GeForce 9400M, «RAM» DDR3, did something with the processor - increased second-level cache. Do I need to lead this change, as the installation of a 128 GB SSD in the older model - I do not know it well, but only for very long. In all of the updated models supported multitouch, in the sense that he was formerly in the old Air, but now have moved here and the movement of the new MacBook and MacBook Pro. That all changes, which, in theory, would have to change the impression of using a laptop in my life. But no, I can tell you that nothing like this has happened. The fact that I enjoyed the first, Air core processor 1.6 GHz. Then used the Air masthead, with SSD and CPU Frequency 1.8 GHz. Now is the time-to-date models with one and six, and seemingly happy close. Until you start to watch movies on a laptop at a time when he is on the bed.
In general, here it is: with cooling, of course, the trumpet. On Air is only one acceptable way of working - the laptop is on the table, you sit and do not rock the boat. Kneeling - begins to warm up. On the bed - hot. Coolers roar, they are very well heard. Moreover, if the laptops Sony, Toshiba has a special protection for the motherboard, the Air may bask, bask in even more warm almost to white heat, but continue to work. At a time when any "Sonya," a hundred times would be disabled, a thin creature stubbornly continues to grind hot air.
Accordingly, to watch movies on this machine in the crib does not work, unfortunately. You can buy a fancy stand from Belkin or something, but do not you think that somehow it looks strange - to give so much of their money and naparyvatsya for trouble? Another point about the video card. Of course, it's pretty cool. But why? Why this laptop graphics card, can someone really involved in it than a graphics-heavy? Or there appeared HDMI? Or is it done only for those who use the Air in a pair with a monitor? The latter option, of course, the most possible, and there is a certain audience (probably). However, among my acquaintances have ten people using the Air, and none of it to the monitor is not connected. For example, a man called Ivan. He had a good car, work clothes and all that. He bought the Air as a fancy toy, and then began to think, where would it fit. Adjusted - using a laptop for presentations, for two or three people. Purposefully. And here is a man called Peter. Peter works "at the customs." And he was all the arguments about the gadgets to the bulb. Right guys walking around with Nokia, and Peter follows this idea. At this point in his Nokia N95 8 Gb, summer Peter will buy N86. And there's a Peter laptop MacBook Air, because the boys say that this is the right laptop. There, and photos from Nokia, music and movies and all sorts of simple card games, mail, kontaktiki. Peter bulbs to heating, because in his bed, he watches movies on your big screen TV, because he lives alone in a high-quality apartments and one is not afraid to wake up. And here is a man called Dimitri. He works in the public right bodies. His home iMac, at work - MacBook Pro last generation, and in the portfolio - MacBook Air for documents and any such. Just in case.Well, a fan of Apple, to do the same. But the man called Sergei. He was a sales representative of a very famous company that makes accessories. He has a hell of an expensive suit, a healthy bag of white leather, which are samples, documentation and MacBook Air. Forever in sleep mode, even though he has repeatedly said that both carry a laptop is not worth it. But Sergei does not care, because if something were to happen, then buy a new one. Even the laptop monitor, which is nonsense. And finally, I myself, using the MacBook Air for meetings, talks, demonstrations photographs, texts, statistics, houses on it are written texts, listen to Internet radio and so on.
Everything written above to the fact that I, like any man, also read the reviews. And I'm sometimes very, very incredibly surprised at how people write something, building on the characteristics, starting from press releases or any opinions on the network. To write adequately about the thing you need to live with it. You may have to buy it, if you strongly like. Just so you can try to express their impressions to readers. In this case we are talking about an expensive device that niche. With the help of a good scare people at the meetings, sometimes it helps in making a decision in your favor, part of the entourage of image. Only someone who has never tried to make the negotiations the interlocutors take your point of view, your argument, to buy your product, and so, only a man can say that this whole entourage is dog crap. On clothes, as they say, are met. A good mind. Air dragged out of the bag still attracts views, even if it is not clear, as generally speaking, you can talk about it, listening to his interlocutor along, trying to learn more about it. Trifles, Circuits, but the whole thing actually works. And that's why so many people in their activities prefer products from Sony, Apple - can not be a specification, a hundredfold most important legend. A legend at the moment is that the Air - it's expensive and cool.
But we have here is not a legend, but a real, true life. And she puts everything in its place. The main thing is that you do not believe in an imaginary high cost of this notebook. Okay, if you have lots and lots of money, and you go into a special decorated apple store and there buy a top-end configuration of the updated Air - it was good. It shows your ability to pay, not everyone can force this way just to give one hundred and thirty thousand. But, as you can imagine, this figure may be different if we turn to the already prevailing prices on the secondary market. Many of those who bought the Air, then they want to sell it, the thirst for renewal, which must be used. And what, how much Air Used? If you take the most-most initial version, not updated, it will be more than thirty thousand. Perhaps about forty. Thousand dollars. And even less. In this case, the owners of Air, as a rule, refer to the machine carefully, and not so easy to "kill" the aluminum. Of course, children's illness is, the discs come in an ambush, with the train, even over little things "bugs" are, but in general, laptops are sold live, normal. And to understand exactly what before you Air, updated or old, hard to understand, but if you look at the characteristics, carefully inspect the connector. Yes, and who comes into my head? It's a legend - the slimmest, most iron, high-gloss coating, multi-touch, it even brought the envelope to show cool. Will not it dispel.
I will say this: in the vacuum of space to live hard, and here are the models should be on the market. Product-icon, yes. But let us understand the situation correctly. Further development of the Air line can go on this way: weight reduction, the emergence of low-cost model, the addition of 3G-modem, built-in appearance of the drive, increased battery life and so on. It is necessary to preserve the original subtlety and elegance. Zadachka not simple.
As a conclusion. Update turned such that we can safely sit on the old Air and did not even look in the direction of expensive new products (although this is not the novelty away). For even if you have the base model, then an external hard drive will always help, as he comes to help me. Do not need a mouse, the touchpad is great, do not need an external monitor, because the Air is made for quite other purposes. I'd add that the "vacuum" space to live hard. Yes, I call it a laptop for blondes, internet tablet, and so on. Call-call, and we do take it somewhere, and somewhere something else urvem.
