(2023) MacBook Air 11-inch with better hardware and specifications

The 11-inch MacBook Air is the cheapest, smallest, and lightest laptop that Apple makes. Apple didn't make any big changes to the design in MacBook Air since 2012, but they did improve the hardware in several times. In this article, I show you what's new and what's the same about the 11-inch Air from this year. Our test MacBook Air had an Intel Core i7 processor with two cores running at 2.0GHz, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 8GB RAM, a 128GB SSD, and an 11.6-inch LED-backlit screen (1366 x 768 native resolution). It is 0.68 inches tall, 11.8 inches wide, and 7.56 inches deep, and weighs 2.38 pounds.

Getting to the Bottom of Things

CPUs from Intel's 3rd generation (Ivy Bridge): The standard processor is an Intel Core i5 with two cores running at 1.7GHz, but our test machine had a Core i7 running at 2.0GHz. Have better pictures: The 2012 Airs also have Intel's HD Graphics 4000, which is a step up from the HD Graphics 3000 system in the 2011 model. More, faster RAM: The Air 2012 can handle up to 8GB of RAM, while the Air 2011 could only handle 4GB. The chips are also faster: 1,600MHz DDR3L SDRAM vs. 1,333MHz DDR3 SDRAM in the old model. As with older models, the chips are soldered to the motherboard, making it impossible to add more memory. More storage: The new Air can be set up with up to 512GB of storage, which is twice as much as the 2011 model's highest storage limit. The Air's built-in camera can shoot 720p video for FaceTime calls. USB 3.0: The 11-inch Air has two USB 3.0 ports, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a built-in microphone. It also has one Thunderbolt port.



MagSafe 2 power connector: The 2012 Air has the same MagSafe 2 power connector as the MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Case screws that are hard to undo: Apple uses special pentalobe screws on the bottom cover of the case, just like it did with earlier Air models and the MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

Design

Even though the hardware has changed, the 11-inch Airs from 2011 and 2012 have the same internal hardware layout. There is a large battery in the middle, two speakers on each side, a small I/O board, a single cooling fan, and the motherboard. And just like this year's 13-inch Air, last year's 11-inch Air has the same battery. So, why wouldn't you like the new 11-inch Air? Well, it's not that bad. It doesn't have an SD card slot like the 13-inch Air. The 64GB SSD in the base model seems small for a machine that costs $999. And if you're used to a normal laptop, the 11-inch screen may take some getting used to. Bottom Line, Like its bigger brother, the 11-inch Air from 2012 is a good addition to the line. Just keep in mind that you can't make any changes to it, so make sure it has all the RAM, storage, and processing power you'll need when you buy it.

MacBook Air's pros and cons

One of Apple's thinnest and lightest laptops has been the MacBook Air. The series came out in 2018, and the 11-inch MacBook Air, which came out in 2016, lost market share to it. There are three different colours of MacBook Air: silver, gold, and space grey. It is said that the MacBook Air is the most environmentally friendly MacBook ever because it is made out of 100% recycled aluminium. Apple owners are proud of their bright retina displays, batteries that last all day, force touch trackpads, touch ID, and the newest keyboards. Here's where the problem is. The keyboard on the well-known laptop has been the subject of several complaints. Apple has acknowledged that there are problems with the MacBook keyboard. Since the MacBook came out, its butterfly keyboard has been a problem. Several people have said that the butterfly switch keyboards aren't fixed right. When you click the space bar, you get two spaces instead of one. This happens on both the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. When it comes to sales, the MacBook Air has been one of the best-selling laptops because it is so light. It's a big hit with both young people and people in the business world because of its iconic design and very light weight. The specs for the hardware are perfect for both professionals and students. The price of a MacBook Air in India is very high. So, before you buy a MacBook Air, you should think about its pros and cons.

GoPro vs. Dash Camera

Image
  A GoPro Dash Cam camera excels at capturing extreme sports and activities, but it is not an ideal substitute for a dedicated dash camera. A dashcam serves the purpose of continuously recording your drives and acting as a witness in traffic accidents. It requires certain technological capabilities that GoPro cameras lack. In general, GoPro cameras are more expensive than dashcams and are not designed for prolonged use inside a vehicle. They lack the ability to automatically turn on and start recording when the car is started, as well as the necessary hardware to withstand extreme cold or heat. If you use a GoPro as a dashcam, you have to mount it on the dash, plug it in, and manually turn it on every time you drive. Convenience is where dashcams shine. With dashcams, you can simply set them up and forget about them. They automatically turn on and start recording as soon as you start the car, eliminating the worry of forgetting to bring it along or turning it on manually like you woul

How to Link Aadhaar Card to Voter ID Card

Image
  The Indian Union Cabinet has given the green light to linking Aadhaar to the voter list. The Election Commission of India (ECI) wants to make it possible for people to link their Aadhaar card to their voter ID card. The Rajkot update news shows how important this link is, since it lets first-time voters sign up to vote up to four times a year. People who turn 18 on or before January 1 of each year can register to vote once, according to the bill. Based on the Rajkot Update News: Link Aadhaar with Voter List , this rule does not depend on a person's gender. This means that both men and women can sign up for a voter's card and link it to their Aadhaar card. As the Rajkot update story said, you can link your Aadhaar number to the voter list through the National Voter Service Portal, an SMS, the phone, or by going to the booth-level officer in your area.
