11" Macbook Air Unboxing & Overview

2011-04-15
what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy comm and today we're gonna take a look at the 11 inch MacBook Air now this product's been out for a little while so there are a number of unboxings already on youtube but I'm gonna do something different I'm gonna take out my macro lens and get up close and personal with this baby so if you stick around till the end you're gonna get closer to this MacBook Air than you probably ever have before probably closer than human eyes can get if you know what I'm saying so stick around is gonna be worthwhile anyway getting back to the unboxing we're gonna peel off this plastic covering and like all Apple packages you can see this is simplicity at its best you get right to the main attraction the 11 inch MacBook Air and let me tell you it's crazy light I mean it doesn't feel that much heavier than the iPad 2 in my hands I mean I know what it is but he doesn't really feel like that much more we got our MagSafe power brick and these are fairly ubiquitous they all look the same across the entire macbook product line but they are different because they supply different amounts of power and these sizes are a little bit different too depending on which macbook we're talking about but what's nice about these is they have this removable prong system here so you can pop that baby off and use the extension if you need to be further away from the outlet or you can leave the extension at home and travel a little bit lighter so it's nice to have that option and PC manufacturers haven't really figured that one out yet I don't know why anyway we've got our actual MagSafe portion and that's been redesigned for a while now I actually had some older Mac books with the previous style and it had a tendency to fray so hopefully this new one is better here is everything else we've got our hello guide it's basically a QuickStart guide I won't be reading that because I won't need to but it's there for anybody that likes to kick it old school next we've got our USB thumb drive which is actually going to be used for software restoration obviously this machine doesn't have a disk drive so that's the way to go a little bit more documentation and ubiquitous Apple stickers next we've got the unit itself all alone and about to get naked let's see if I can get this plastic off of here there we have it and like I said guys this is just crazy light I mean it's amazing what's happening with laptops I remember the first laptop I ever owned thing had to be like 10 pounds you know now we're looking at something that's 2 or just over 2 it's quite crazy stuff anyway let's see if I can pop it open here and maybe get it booted up I'm probably not gonna do the whole set up sequence but I'll show you guys the first boot nonetheless you can get a look at the keyboard here too and it's a nice size when you consider the overall size of the laptop so there we are that's that first boot virgin boot anyway I'm not gonna do the whole complete set up but at least you can see how quickly it boots the first time around now it should speed up after the initial boot because there's all that setup going on but you're not really gonna shut this thing down too much because it's got that instant-on kind of thing where you pop the lid up and you're right into the OS so it's not gonna be a real issue waiting the boot I don't think so you have it time to get close to this baby here we go so we got a USB we got our display adapter port on the left hand side and on the right hand side we got our microphone our headphone another USB and of course our mag safe here's a closer look at the keys of course you're not gonna get the backlit keyboard on this unit it's just too thin for it that's alright anyway it was a fun unboxing I can't wait to use this thing and get a review up for you guys so be sure to subscribe so that you can catch that review as soon as it comes up oh there it is up against my iPad - and I'm telling you it ain't much bigger anyways hope to see you guys around the channel comment if you have any questions later
