The second incarnation of the Apple MacBook Air 13.3 Laptop has changed small since its predecessor was first released in January 2008. It still lacks some essential features like an optical drive and Ethernet port among others. Still, the machine comes with some major positives like its extremely thin profile, the powder-silver end, the low weight and outstanding build quality.

But don’t dismiss it just yet; the new version of the MacBook Air—like all others in the new MacBook line—now comes with an Nvidia chipset, giving it a significant edge over version 1.0 with its superior graphics capabilities. Although this addition slightly affects the black Macbooks battery time as well as its noise and heat output, it’s a price most techies are willing to pay for this beauty.

Along with that is the Apple MacBook Air 13.3 Laptop’s backlit keyboard with the usual split keys featured on all MacBooks, making it a breeze to type on the device.

You also get Apple’s super-wide multi touch trackpad. Users will find it pleasing to use – having the capability of using a double finger swipe to scroll, tapping two fingers for a right-click and a four-finger swipe for Expose. Applications bundled with OS X are a delight to use with this trackpad.

The bottom line is that the Apple MacBook Air 13.3 Laptop is by no means a desktop replacement. It was never meant to be anyway, so don’t except robust features. There isn’t any optical drive and Ethernet port, only one USB port, a fixed battery and no 3G support. But, aesthetics come at a price and the new MacBook Air 13.3 Laptop certainly does not disappoint. Again, Apple manages to combine elegance and functionality with grace. With its super slim look it’s a must have for every Apple fan and fashion conscious techie out there. Interested? Head down to our Macbook review right now.

Tip 1: Power Down the Show

Do you know one of the most effective ways to conserve laptop battery life is to lower the brightness of the screen show? Its been known that lowering one level of screen brightness will yield up to 10 more minutes of battery life. You can easily do this by going to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Show and clicking the Settings tab. You can also disable those cool effects like ClearType fonts and fade effects to reduce the CPU’s power consumption.

Tip 2: Decrease Hard Drive Activity

You can also optimize the Windows’ paging file – the area of the laptop hard drive that serves as virtual memory whenever your RAM is full. Optimizing the paging file size ensures your hard drive is accessed less frequently when you run out of system memory. To change it, go to the Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance Settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory Change. Set both the initial and maximum paging file size to 1.5 times the capacity of your installed RAM size.

Your laptop hard drive is another power eating culprit. To save power, you should reduce the frequency with which your hard disk has to spin. To do this, you can try defragmenting your hard drive regularly. This can be done using the Disk Degfragmenter in the Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools menu.

Tip 3: Condition the Battery

One thing you should remember about laptop batteries. You need to condition it. When you first buy your laptop, charge the battery to 100 percent and then discharge it completely. Next, charge it to 100 percent again. This is not a pointless exercise – it ‘conditions’ the battery and helps it remember exactly how much electrical charge it can hold. After you do that, you will never need to completely discharge the battery again.

Tip 4: Disable Startup Items

Here’s another tip. Disable your unneeded startup items! I find it very irritating whenever my laptop boots up and I’ve to wait like 20 seconds for all manner of small program bits to load into memory. You can disable those startup programs. Go to the associated programs and click on the Options or Preferences menu to do this. You can also go to the Startup tab in your Start Menu and clear programs you don’t want to run at boot time.

Tip 5: Turn Off Unused Devices

And here’s another tip for you. As you may know, many modern laptops have a Wi-Fi built in. Unknown to many people, that Wi-Fi connection is a power guzzler! Make sure you turn off the Wi-Fi connection using the external Wi-Fi on-off switch. If your laptop does not offer such a switch, you should go to the Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager and disable the infrared transceiver, Ethernet adapter and Bluetooth radio.
Conclusion

I hope this article has shown you some excellent tips on conserving laptop battery life. Follow the above tips so that the next time you’re sipping coffee in Starbucks, you have lots of battery life left in your laptop for surfing and working. Until next time, pleased computing!

Rumors about the next version of MacBook(Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch battery) Air will increasingly affect the transformation to an ultraportable. The screen it will be reduced from the current 13.3 inches to 11.6 inches, also changing the design to make it thinner and lighter. Also, the hardware platform will change: we will use Intel processors Arrandale Calpella, the series of the New Intel (i3, i5, i7, etc.) and is thus a high power, characterized by very low consumption.

The technology used for the new MacBook Air will not be different from those used for other devices from Apple(Macbook Pro battery), in particular, this ultraportable is built by Quanta Computers with a release date scheduled for the second half of 2010. Sales forecasts, but, are not the most optimistic: by the end of the year is expected to reach 400,000 units sold, but not beyond. We will see if this time Apple will be able to discount weather fold and promptly overcome.

With the release of the new Apple(A1078 battery) MacBook Air 11.6-inch there will be a new version of the iPod: Apple iPod Touch, with 3-megapixel camera and a new processor. Thanks to the camera, you can take pictures and record videos, then watch them directly from the device or on PC.

Regarding the processor, you will have a A4 Apple, Apple(A1185) chip manufactured by Samsung, this processor is already used 4 iPhone, ensuring a perfect result. Processor architecture ARM Cortex-A8 contains a CPU and a GPU PowerVR SGX 535, so as to achieve high performance even in the graphics component. The estimates of sales of the new iPod Touch instead are much more comforting: 17-18 million units sold in 2010 only in a few months of marketing.

Would another 12-inch MacBook work? Who knows? But it would fit neatly into Apple’s current lineup.

Never, ever would I presume to have a better thought than the marketing and design geniuses at Apple, but let me throw this out there anyway. With the MacBook bottoming out at a 13.3-inch screen size and the iPad at about 10 inches, a 12-inch ultraportable would find a niche at Apple.

I can hear Apple designers bristling at the thought already: 12-inch form factors are so passe! Too small! 13.3 inches is the perfect combination of portability and size!

But wait a minute. With today’s materials and silicon technology, 12-inch laptops lend themselves to the next grail of laptop portability: less than 2 pounds. With Apple’s knack for trend-setting designs, I can envision a 1.5-pound, razor-thin (under 0.7 inches) MacBook that showcases Apple’s design prowess.

Of course, it would be priced well above the iPad to avoid any hint of direct competition. But reckon of the possibilities: a special ultra-low-power Intel processor (Apple and Intel would need to bring down the thermals–the heat generated by the processor–a bit, even below Intel’s newest power-efficient processors).

Or, as possibly a better option, imagine this: Take the iPad’s basic internals, add a next-generation dual-core Apple A4 processor, tack on a built-in keyboard, and, presto, a very unique clamshell laptop not beholden to Intel (which, I’m sure, is fine with Apple). And Apple could architect an enhanced iPad-style operating system. (With Flash support this time, please.)

Of course, there have been a raft of decent 12-inch (and smaller) laptops in the past from companies like Toshiba, Sony, and Hewlett-Packard. Sony sells the 1.5 pound Vaio X series, and HP has continued to update its well loved EliteBook ultraportable line with the 12-inch 2540p. But the Sony design is based on a sluggish Intel Atom processor running an overburdensome Windows 7 operating system. And the HP design is more of a buttoned-down business notebook.

Apple could bring some real panache to the ultraportable laptop market (again), which, I would argue, is getting stale. Would you buy one?
