Apple Notebook Best Price

Apple is a large multinational corporation which was founded in 1976 in Cupertino,  California, United   States of America by three men:   Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. It is specialized in producing and selling consumer electronic products, personal computers and computer software. In time the company developed a lot, and expanded all over the world. Today it has around 284 locations in 10 countries and  has about 34,000 employees.




Its products are really famous, and you have probably already own one of them, or at least you heard about one of these products: the Macintosh computers, the MacBook laptops, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad, the Mac OS X operating system, the iLife suite of multimedia software, the iTunes media browser, the Final Cut Studio video editing program or the Logic Studio audio editing software. But for today we’ll focus just on the products that are interesting us – the MacBook laptops. If you want to find out more information about all the categories of laptops, just check out previous articles from our site, or visit the laptops encyclopedia.

There are many stores and websites from where you can buy an Apple laptop, and some of the best prices on Apple notebooks can be found here. Right now as we speak, there are 10 different models of MacBook laptops available on the site of Best Buy. As you might already know the Apple laptops are quite expensive, but also really good. They have prices from 1,000 dollars to 2,300 dollars. And now let’s discuss more about a middle priced Apple laptop from this site, the Apple ® – MacBook ® Air with 13.3 ” Display, Model: MB 940 LL/A | SKU: 9119759, which costs 1,700 dollars. We said middle priced because it is not among the cheapest Apple laptops, but not among the most expensive ones either. But compared to other laptops from other producers, this is quite a really expensive laptop. And especially because it has quite a small display screen of just 13.3 inch in diagonal. This display screen is a LED widescreen display with a resolution of 1280 x 800. The video quality will be quite ok, and also the dimensions of this laptop will be small. These are:

-  Product Height 0.8 ”

-  Product Width 12.8 ”

-  Product Weight 3 lbs.

-  Product Depth 8.9 ”

The processor from this laptop is an Intel ® Core ™ 2 Duo mobile processor, with 1066 MHz frontside bus, 6 MB shared L 2 cache and 1.86 GHz processor speed. And for such a small laptop it is quite a good processor, that will easily support the general computer activities, and even more. It comes with 2 GB of DDR 3 SDRAM memory, and since it is almost a netbook, it doesn’t have an optical drive, in order to save size and weight.

But the real secret of this laptop, and the reason it has such a big price, is its thickness. It measures just 0.8 inch in height, so it is a really slim and light laptop. So this means that it has a really high portability, but a small size of the hard drive. It isn’t possible yet to integrate a regular SATA hard drive into such a small space, and that’s why it has a solid state hard drive of just 128 GB. But anyway this disc space should be quite enough, if you are not planning on storing really large files such as complex video games or High Definition movies. Its graphics engine is a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 M graphics with up to 256 MB DDR 3 SDRAM shared video memory and support for DVI, VGA, composite and S-video. Since it is so small and slim it has just 1 USB port, which means that you can’t have more devices connected to the laptop at the same time (for example an USB stick, USB speakers, a printer and others). Since it is so small and light, and can be easily taken anywhere, of course it has both wireless and Ethernet connectivity for easy access to the internet. (and also built in Bluetooth 2.1). And it even comes with a built in webcam, an omnidirectional microphone and stereo speakers. It has a really good multitouch trackpad with features like: 2-finger scrolling, pinch, rotate, swipe, tap, double-tap and drag capabilities. It comes with an installed version of the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system and some other Apple software such as: Time Machine, Spotlight, iChat, Safari, iCal, DVD Player, Front Row, Photo Booth, Xcode Developer Tools, iLife ’09 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, GarageBand) and more.

The customers who bought this laptop have quite good opinions about it, and they are giving it an overall rating of 4 stars out of 5 (3.7 for value for price, 4.5 for display, 4.5 for performance and also 4.4 for convenience). So the biggest disappointing of the customers was the really high price of 1,700 dollars. So it is up to you to decide if you want to spend so much money for a really slim and light laptop, or would you prefer to spend the 1,700 dollars for a really powerful, high end laptop, but one that is bigger and not so slim.
