About this Mac
Apple re-entered into the foray of the sub-notebook category by introducing the MacBook Air in 2008. The PowerBook era had seen the PowerBook 2400c and PowerBook Duo as Apple’s reps in thesub-notebooks category. The first version of the MacBook Air released October 14, 2008 was powered by a 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors (SL9300) and accompanied by a 2 GB RAM of onboard 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM with 120 GB SATA (4200 RPM) hard drive packed into a 0.16-0.76 inch body that weights approx. 3 pounds.

Storage
The MacBook Air came with 120 GB SATA (4200 RPM) hard drive for its storage space. Quite small by today’s standards but provided just enough storage for those on the move.
Screen Size and Resolution
This MacBook Air sub-notebook had a 13.3” widescreen TFT LED-backlit active-matrix glossy display and a1280x800 native resolution.
Processor& Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
This MacBook Air comes with MacOS X 10.5.5 and runs on a 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a NVIDIA GeForce 9400Mgraphics processor that shares 256 MB of memory with the system.
Memory & Architecture
The MacBook Air was equipped with a 32k/32k Level 1 Cache and6 MB (on chip) Level 2/Level 3 cache. It is also has a 2 GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM on board.
Battery Life
The MacBook Air comes with a 37-watt-hour lithium polymer battery that can provide up to 2.5 hours of wireless use. Hardly anything to praise upon and often considered one of the MacBook Air’s weaker points since its conception.
Upgradability
This MacBook Air’s RAM cannot be upgraded from the 2 GB that is placed onboard. This is due to the soldering of the components which was a strategic move to save weight and space.The operating system of the MacBook Air can also be upgraded from its pre-installed MacOS X 10.5.5, up to MacOS X 10.11.x.
It can also be host to the Windows XP SP2 (32-Bit) and can accommodate Windows systems as high as Windows 7 (32-Bit).
This MacBook Air came with dimensions of 0.16 – 0.76 in ×12.8 in ×8.94 in and a weight of 3.0 lbs (1.36 kg). The standout feature of this device was its size which was and still is incredibly small especially considering the features packed into the device were very similar to larger variants.
