About this Mac
The MacBook Air Core i5 was introduced on February 10, 2012. It is a 13” version explicitly available for sale only for educational institutes. This model is quite similar in terms of design to the standard Apple MacBook Air “Core i5″ 1.7 13” (Mid-2011) but with a slower processor, non-upgradeable memory, and comparatively low storage. The power of this device comes from a 64-bit Intel Core i5 1.6 GHz “Sandy Bridge” processor (2467M) with a 3MB shared L3 cache. A 2 GB of DDR3 SDRAM and a 64 GB flash storage capacity are installed in this model.
This device uses a FaceTime webcam for video recording. Unlike earlier MacBook Air Models, it has a keyboard with backlit technology to be easily used in darkness. The complete body of this model is made of an aluminum case, making it thin and compact. The MacBook Air Core i5 has a lot of connectivity options, including 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, two USB 2.0 ports, analog audio out, an SDXC card slot, and just a single Thunderbolt port. It also supports Bluetooth 4.0.

Processor& Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)
This model comes with a pre-installed MacOS X 10.7.3, and it also fully supports the last version of OS X 10.8. This limited-edition system is backed by a 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5 (32nm) “Sandy Bridge” processor (I5-2467M). It supports Turbo Boost 2.0 (up to 2.3 GHz) for increased power efficiency and performance. The Sandy Bridge processor provides a 17% better performance than the Lynnfield processor.
