what's up guys Lew from unbox therapy and I'm very excited just walked in my front door after picking up the brand-new MacBook Air this is the core i5 model and this is supposed to be a huge performance improvement over the previous one and I also want to mention that it's the 13-inch I do have the 11 inch of the previous generation so this one is going to be an extensive upgrade as far as I understand from the benchmarks I've seen now this is just an unboxing video guys but I definitely want you to stay tuned I'm going to stack this up against my quad-core MacBook Pro that I just picked up you guys can get a sense for just what kind of performance to expect but first let's talk about what's happening in front of your eyes let's talk about this beautiful slim laptop that's getting unwrapped getting naked for you after all this is unbox therapy where products get naked so let's put this to the side for a minute and just look at the other things that come with it now here's our little package of documents it's pretty straightforward stuff I've seen a bunch of these before we have our hello guide which is Apple's way of saying Quick Start Guide usually not going to need to read that and something my notice straightaway is that we don't have a reinstallation USB Drive like on the previous model MacBook Air so I suppose this whole Mac App Store is going to be your way to restore something I don't know I don't know what you do if you get into real trouble anyway here we've got our extension to the power adapter and then we have our nice little brick along with our MagSafe nothing too special pretty much everything you'd expect and that is it but here's what it's all about here's what you came to see let me tell you something this is real thin real light and if it's as fast as everybody saying this can be a real replacement for your current system whether it be a desktop or a laptop as you guys know it comes pre-loaded with an SSD and as far as I'm concerned that's the biggest upgrade you can make to your laptop after all they've been plagued with slow hard drives for many many years and that is no longer a drawback once you go to that ssv I'm not going to make you sit through the initial installation here like I said I'm going to have a more extensive review and MacBook Pro comparison coming up a real soon either later today or maybe tomorrow anyway here we've got our MagSafe port a USB our headphone jack and our microphone and on the other side of the unit we got that brand new Thunderbolt boom as well as a USB and SD card slot and you can see it tapers down real slim here I mean that's impressive that's beautiful you got the backlit keyboard now as well this is an improvement over what you previously had we didn't have a backlit keyboard on the previous generation MacBook Air and then we've also got a new shortcut key on the f4 button since this runs lion that's going to open up your new app drawer which is similar to the apps you see on your iPad or on your iPhone so it's going to give you this kind of icon based app organization I suppose you'd call it here it is up against my Galaxy Tab 10 one which is obviously very thin as well but as you can see this is impressive I mean it's very close to the same thickness and that's a laptop boys and girls anyway guys as I said before click that subscribe button I got a lot more MacBook Air content coming up including a really cool benchmark comparison against my quad-core MacBook Pro stay tuned later
