The MacBook Air Has Advanced Wireless Features
Welcome to the latest innovation in technology, the MacBook Air. The MacBook Air is fully wireless, with a next generation 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR built in. Better yet, it has never-before-seen wireless capabilities.
No longer do you need an optical drive, so the MacBook Air has gotten rid of that. Built to function optimally in a wireless environment, you don’t need it. Now, instead of watching DVDs, rent movies from iTunes. Yes, that’s right, you can have movie rentals on the fly.
iTunes lets you download, rent, and watch whatever you want to on MacBook Air – blockbuster movies as well as classics. No more buying a ticket or sitting down in front of cable; you can take your cinema with you wherever you go, all in the thin, lightweight package called MacBook Air.
If you do want to install software on MacBook Air from a CD or DVD, it has a new feature called Remote Disc. With Remote Disc, you can "borrow" the optical drive of a PC or Mac in the vicinity, wirelessly. This gives you full access to an optical drive without actually having to have one on the MacBook Air.
Using Remote Disc on MacBook Air.
- To use Remote Disc on MacBook Air, choose a nearby PC or Mac that has an optical drive. On that computer, install Remote Disc Setup software, which you have supplied to you on the accompanying Mac OS X install DVD. This makes the PC or Mac you’ve chosen enabled permanently for Remote Disc.
- Next, insert a DVD that contains the software you want to install on MacBook Air into the computer you’ve made able to use Remote Disc.
- Finally, you can install the software on MacBook Air. Go to your MacBook Air, choose "Devices," then "Remote Disc," and then click on the computer you’ve enabled. Double-click there to open the software DVD. This should let you proceed with the installation just as if you had an optical drive right on your MacBook Air.
Migration, too, is wireless.
You can transfer all of your content from your old Mac to your new MacBook Air without using the old-fashioned FireWire cable.
Instead, when you turn on MacBook Air for the first time, the setup assistant will guide you through the initial setup.
You install the same Remote Disc set up software on the old Mac as you can do on a nearby PC or Mac, and by the same token, you can transfer information into your new MacBook Air from your old computer.
It’s wireless, secure and very simple. What could be better than that?
The MacBook Air (UK Version) became available in the UK in February 2008, marketed as the thinnest laptop in The World.
