To reduce the computer's size and weight, Apple omitted certain features long standard on its laptops. It is Apple's first notebook since the PowerBook 2400c without a built-in removable media drive[4]. Users may purchase an external USB SuperDrive, or use bundled Remote Disc software to access the optical drive of another computer[5].
It lacks a security slot[6] and an Ethernet port[7], although a USB-to-Ethernet adapter may be purchased separately[8]. Some have complained about the omission of these features[attribution needed]. In addition, the MacBook Air offers only a single USB port. The MacBook Air lacks Cardbus and ExpressCard slots, both standard features in older and newer laptops, respectively [9].
The MacBook Air is Apple's first laptop computer to be offered with an optional solid-state hard drive[10]. ArsTechnica found "moderate" performance improvements of the 64GB solid-state drive over the standard 80GB hard drive in tests [11].
The CPU is an Intel Core 2 Duo chip, which was specially redesigned for the MacBook Air, reducing the physical chip packaging's size by 60 percent [12]. While the processor is unique, it has been criticized for being under-powered and last generation technology.[13][14]
The laptop has the magnetic latch system of the MacBook and an aluminum casing like the MacBook Pro. The oversized trackpad offers iPhone-like Multi-Touch gestures, an improvement over previous MacBook trackpads. Among the gestures are pinching, swiping, and rotating [15]
The MacBook Air is pre-loaded with Mac OS X v10.5 and iLife '08.
[edit] Remote Disc
The MacBook Air can wirelessly access the optical drive of another Mac or Windows PC that has the Remote Disc program installed, allowing the installation of applications from a CD or DVD [16][17]. It can also reinstall the system software from the included installation DVD [18]. Remote Disc supports netbooting, so the MacBook Air can boot from its installation DVD in another computer's drive [19].

MacBook Air is nearly as thin as your index finger. Practically every detail that could be streamlined has been. Yet it still has a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi-touch trackpad. It’s incomparably portable without the usual ultraportable screen and keyboard compromises.
The incredible thinness of MacBook Air is the result of numerous size- and weight-shaving innovations. From a slimmer hard drive to strategically hidden I/O ports to a lower-profile battery, everything has been considered and reconsidered with thinness in mind.
MacBook Air is designed and engineered to take full advantage of the wireless world. A world in which 802.11n Wi-Fi is now so fast and so available, people are truly living untethered — buying and renting movies online, downloading software, and sharing and storing files on the web.
