Introducing the Apple MacBook Air
Debuted by Apple in January, 2008, the MacBook Air replaced the white MacBook as Apple's entry-level laptop in 2011 and has gone through several iterations in terms of technical specifications. It was selected by WSU as the Mac laptop option for the 2014-2015 academic year. Our model includes a 4th generation i5 processor, 4 GB of RAM, a 128 GB solid state drive, a 13" screen, Thunderbolt and USB 3.0 ports, and OS X Mavericks pre-installed. Compared with previous models, a notable difference is the lack of an internal, optical CD-DVD drive. Those of you who still rely on CD-DVD media have several options (e.g., attaching an external CD-DVD drive).
