The left side of the computer has a MagSafe adapter for power, and there is an iSight webcam and microphone above the screen.
The MacBook Air was the first compact laptop sold by Apple since the full-featured 12" PowerBook G4 was stopped in 2006.
It was also Apple's first computer with an optional solid-state storage drive.
ArsTechnica found "moderate" performance improvements of the 64 GB solid-state drive of the first generation Air over the standard 80 GB hard drive in tests.
On October 14, 2008, new models were announced boasting improved capacities of 128 GB (solid-state) and 120 GB (hard drive).
The Air comes standard with 2 GB non-upgradable RAM.
The CPU on the original Air was an Intel Core 2 Duo chip especially designed to be 40 percent the size of the standard Core 2 Duo chip.
The current model has a low voltage, small form factor Core 2 Duo "Penryn" with 6 MB of cache, running on a 1066 MHz bus.
MacBook Air has no user-replaceable parts.
The hard drive, memory, and battery are enclosed within the casing, with memory soldered directly to the logicboard.
MacBook Air's battery is enclosed within the case but can be replaced using normal screwdrivers, though it is unclear whether this process would void the notebook's warranty.
As part of the out-of-warranty service, Apple offers to replace the battery for a fee.
Apple incorporated several features in the design of the MacBook Air, such as the reduction of toxic chemicals like lead, to make it more environmentally friendly.
MacBook Air contains no BFRs and PVC wiring, meets Energy Star Version 5.0 requirements, has a recyclable enclosure, and is rated EPEAT Gold; its screen is made from arsenic-free glass and does not contain mercury.
To reduce the computer's size and weight, several features were sacrificed.
It is Apple's first notebook since the PowerBook 2400c without a built-in removable media drive.
It also omits a FireWire port, Ethernet port, line-in, media card slots, and a Kensington Security Slot.
To regain the features of an optical drive, users can either use a separately-available external USB SuperDrive, or the bundled Remote Disc software to access the optical drive of another computer.
However, this method only allows for disk browsing or software installation; DVD movies or CDs cannot be watched or listened to.
The Remote Disc capability is achieved by the computer wirelessly accessing the optical drive of another Mac or Windows PC that has the Remote Disc program installed.
It can also be used to reinstall the system software from the included installation DVD.
Remote Disc supports netbooting, so MacBook Air can boot from its installation DVD in another computer's drive.
This feature requires Remote Install Mac OS X to be running on the remote computer.
The software does not allow the playback or information of DVDs or CDs, nor does it allow the installation of Microsoft Windows.
For these features, an external USB drive is required.
A single speaker located under the keyboard is included for mono sound.
The MacBook Air includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard pre-installed, along with Apple's iLife multimedia suite.
Apple's iWork work suite, similar to Microsoft Office, is also available with the purchase of the computer, with an extra charge.
With the 2008 changes to the notebook, wired Ethernet connectivity required a separately available USB-to-Ethernet adapter.
However, for the 2009 revision, the adapter is included in-the-box.
Additionally, in the 2008 revision, the hard drive, graphics, front side bus, processor, memory, battery, and port connections were upgraded.
Launch and reception
The MacBook Air was greeted with mixed reception when it was introduced.
The portability of the MacBook Air was praised in reviews, however, the compromise in features was criticized.
The full-sized keyboard, weight of three pounds, thinness, and Multi-Touch trackpad were appreciated in reviews, while the limited configuration options, slow speed (in the non-SSD models), non-user replaceable battery, small hard drive, and price were criticized.
Dan Ackerman of CNET commented on the original models, "the design and engineering that went into MacBook Air is extraordinary, but it's certainly a much more specialized product than the standard 13-inch MacBook."
Ackerman disliked the limited internet connectivity, slow speed, small hard drive, battery, and the price of SSD hard-drive option, however, appreciated the thinness, sturdiness, and the MultiTouch gestures.
Macworld's Jason Snell praised the portability, however commented that "the decision about whether the MacBook Air is a product worth having can be answered by 1 question: How much are you willing to compromise?"
MacBook Air's launch was accompanied by a television commercial emphasizing its slender design.
In the commercial, a hand unthreads a manila envelope and slides out a MacBook Air, then opens it to wake it from sleep.
The music playing is "New Soul" by Yael Naïm.
"Thinnest" disputes
The Mitsubishi Pedion, released in 1998, was the thinnest rectangular laptop at 0.72 inches (1.84 cm) until the release of the Dell Adamo in March 2009, which is a rectangular laptop 0.65 inches (1.65 cm) thick.
Although both these laptops are thinner than MacBook Air's thickest point (0.76 inches/1.94 cm), MacBook Air tapers from 0.16–0.76 inches (0.4–1.94 cm), leading to some controversy over the "thinnest" laptop.
The Sharp Actius MM10 Muramasas, a thin, tapered notebook, had a minimum height (thickness) of  and a maximum height of .
It was the thinnest tapered laptop until the release of MacBook Air in 2008.
In March 2009, Dell challenged that claim with the release of the Dell Adamo XPS.
The flip-down hatch on the side of Mac Book Air is a tight fit for some headphone plugs and USB devices, requiring users to purchase an extension cable.
Apple has removed the flip-down hatch on the Late 2010 model in favor of open connection ports as on other Mac books.
Since the release of the first-generation product, some MacBook Air users have complained of overheating that caused CPU lockup.
The effect can be seen at CPU temperatures as low as  and worsens with higher temperatures.
Apple released a software update in early March 2008 to fix the problem with mixed results: the deactivation of 1 CPU core appears to have been corrected; however, the runaway kernel problem remains for at least some users.
The problem is aggravated by system-intensive tasks such as video playback or video chatting.

Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) is one of the largest militant groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir from Azad Jammu and Kashmir and stands for the integration of the Disputed Territory and unification of all the Kashmir region with Pakistan.
Since its formation the HuM has also wanted the Islamization of Kashmir.
The HuM was formed in 1989 in the Kashmir Valley with Master Ahsan Dar as its chief.
Dar was later arrested by the Indian all-armed forces by mid-December 1993.
It was reportedly formed as the militant wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI) at the behest of the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, to counter the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), which had advocated complete independence of the State from the nations.
Many of the early Hizb cadres were former JKLF members.
Qalat or Kalat () is a historical town in Kalat District, Balochistan, Pakistan.
Qalat is the capital of Qalat District and is known locally as Qalat-e Baluch.
Qalat, formerly Qilat, is roughly in the center of Pakistani Balochistan, south and slightly west of the provincial capital Quetta.
It was the capital of the Qalat Khanate.
The Brahui population is almost completely Muslim.
Makran was an autonomous princely state of both British India and Pakistan, which ceased to exist in 1955.
It was located in the extreme southwest of Pakistan, an area occupied by the districts of Gwadar, Kech and Panjgur.
The state did not include the enclave of Gwadar which was under Omani rule until 1958.
The State of Kharan was an autonomous princely state in British India (later Pakistan), in the southwest of modern Pakistan.
It was established about the year 1697 CE.
In 1948, the state was integrated into Pakistan's West Pakistan.
In 1971, East Pakistan became Bangladesh, and West Pakistan was renamed to Pakistan.
Since then, the state is organised as the Kharan District of Balochistan.
Amb was a princely state of the former British Raj.
It governed itself (it had autonomy), but was under the overall suzerainty of the British monarch.
Amb was ruled by a hereditary prince with the title of Nawab.
The Nawab of Amb was the chieftain of the Tanoli tribe of Pashtun from Ghilji confederation in the Hazara.
In the Partition of India in 1947, the Nawab of Tanolis/TanoKhel gave up the independence the state had previously enjoyed by joining the new country of Pakistan.
Amb continued as a distinct state within Pakistan until 1969, when it was merged into the former North-West Frontier Province.
The royal status of the Nawab was abolished by the Government of Pakistan in 1972.
The area in which Amb was located is historically known as Tanawal.
This is in the Hazara region in what is now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The part covered by Amb is called "Upper Tanawal", and is now part of Mansehra District. "
Lower Tanawal" is in the Abbottabad District.
The name "Tanawal" comes from the name of the tribe that lives there, the Tanoli (or Tanawali).
The Tanoli are Muslims.
They speak Hindko.
Amb and the area around it have a long history, which goes back to the time of the invasion of the region by Alexander the Great.
A settlement called Embolina, located on the Indus River, is mentioned in writings by Arrian and Ptolemy.
This is the place from which the Nawabs of Amb took their title.
Amb was once formally known as Mulk e Tanawal (meaning the country of Tanawal).
The early history of the region goes back to the centuries before the Mughal Empire.
In the early 14th century, the Tanoli or Tanawali tribe arrived here from Central Asia, after coming through Afghanistan.
They conquered it and settled here on the banks of the river Indus and a wide area around it, which thus came to be known as Tanawal.
From early on, the Tanawal area stayed mostly free from the influence of the Mughals and Sikhs and later had only limited contact with British.
The people of Tanawal thus had little or no contact with other places for a long period and remained ignorant and backward.
At most times, they would resist outside authority, preferring to be ruled by their own chiefs at a local level.
Until the late-18th or early-19th centuries, Tanawal was not one state.
It was rather an area where several important Tanoli chiefs had authority over an area of influence.
The Hindwal section chiefs remained stronger than the other.
In 1772, Mir Haibat Khan, the eldest son of Mir Gul Muhammad Khan, was declared to be the chief of Upper Tanawal.
Later, his descendants were made as the Nawabs of Amb under the British Raj, and continued ruling over this territory until 1972.
The rulers of Amb belonged to the Hindwal branch of the Tanoli.
The Tanoli are of Mughal ancestry.
The rulers are descendants of a Barlas Turk probably named Ameer Khan Turk but authentic records of the tribe no longer exist beyond the 18th century.
Mir Haibat Khan and what are the names of all sons?
Mir Navab Khan and what are the names of all sons?
Mir Painda Khan (died 1843)
Mir, later Nawab Jehandad Khan (1843–1868)
Sir Nawab Muhammad Akram Khan (1868–1907)
Sir Nawab Khan i Zaman Khan (1907–1936)
Sir Nawab Muhammad Farid Khan (1936–1971)(state and all titles etc.
formally abolished)
Nawab Muhammad Saeed Khan (1971–1972; titlular only 1972–1973)
The concept of hereditary rulerships was abolished in Pakistan on 1 January 1972.
It was done by a change to the constitution.
This meant that the Nawab of Amb would no longer be recognised as a ruler.
They could also no longer use their old styles and titles.
The current head of the old/former royal family is Salahuddin Saeed Khan, since 1973.
He is the son of the last Nawab and is allowed to use the courtesy title of 'Nawabzada' (son of a Nawab).
Phulra was a minor princely state of both Pakistan and British India, in the modern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
It was east of the nearby princely Amb.
Both states ended in 1950 when they were merged into the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
There is some dispute as to whether Phulra ranked as a full princely state or as a minor noble estate (jagir) of the Indian Empire.
Chitral (or Chitrāl); was a former princely state of Pakistan and British India which ceased to exist in 1969.
The area of the state now forms the Chitral District in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Shahzada Ghaziuddin (Prince of Nagar) was a graduate from Aligarh university India.
he was the son of Shuja ul mulk (Mehtar of Chitral) He was highly intelligent man and due to his intelligence, bravery, kind, loving nature was highly recognised.
He was given the jagir of Nagar, Ursoon, patai, sweer, arandu, ziarat etc.
Nagar fort was the winter resort of H.H Sir Shuja Ul Mulk.
Dir was a small former princely state in the modern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan.
The state ceased to exist in 1969 when it was incorporated into Pakistan.
The area once occupied by the state (5,282 km²) now forms two districts of Pakistan - Upper Dir and Lower Dir.
The two districts were part of Malakand Division until divisions were abolished as an administrative tier.
Hunza () was a former princely state in the northernmost part of the Northern Areas, of Pakistan, which existed until 1974.
The state bordered the Gilgit Agency to the south, the former princely state of Nagar to the east, Chinese Turkistan to the north and Afghanistan to the northwest.
The state capital was the town of Baltit (also known as Karimabad).
The area of Hunza now forms the Aliabad Tehsil of Hunza-Nagar District.
The area of Nagar now forms three tehsils of Nagar District.
Nagar along with Gilgit and Baltistan is falsely claimed by the Republic of India as so-called part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Polyurethane is a polymer.
Its name is often shortened to PU or PUR.
Polyurethane is made of organic units, which are joined by urethane.
Polyurethane polymers are formed through step-growth polymerization.
In this process, a monomer containing at least two isocyanate functional groups reacts with another monomer containing at least two hydroxyl (alcohol) groups in the presence of a catalyst.
Polyurethane is available with different levels of stiffness, hardness or densities.
Examples for such materials are:
Low-density flexible foam used in upholstery
Low-density rigid foam used for thermal insulation and RTM cores
Soft solid elastomers used for gel pads and print rollers
Low density elastomers used in footwear
Hard solid plastics used as electronic instrument bezels and structural parts
Polyurethane products are often called "urethanes".
They should not be confused with the specific substance urethane, also known as ethyl carbamate.
Polyurethanes are neither produced from ethyl carbamate, nor do they contain it.
Petroleum products, like plastics, contain Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) like phthalates you can inhale as you sleep.
These hazardous air pollutants cause a lot of horrible health effects like changes in hormone levels, obesity, and asthma.
Also, if child or adult has allergies then these volatile chemicals can make it even worse.
On top of that, sleeping babies inhale a lot more air than adults do per body weight.
They can inhale as much as 10 times more VOCs!

Cap-Haïtien, also known as Le Cap, (Kréyòl: Kap Ayisyen, Okap) is a city in northern Haiti.
It is the capital city of the Nord Département.
The city is on the coast of the Cap-Haïtien Bay, on the Atlantic Ocean, about 260 km north of the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince.
The central part of the city is between the bay to the east, and mountains to the west.
Cap-Haïtien is also the chief town of an arrondissement (a part of a department) with the same name.
The arrondissement has three communes (a commune is like a municipality): Cap-Haïtien, Limonade and Quartier-Morin.
On the left side of the river Haut du Cap, Christopher Columbus built a small fort with the rest of the ship Santa María when it was destroyed on Christmas Day on 1492; he named the fort as La Navidad (in English, "Christmas").
The region around the city had the Taíno name of Guarico, the name used by the Spanish colonists for the region and the new city.
When French people came from the Tortuga Island to live here, they founded the city in 1670 and the French King Louis XIV named the place as Cap-Français in 1711; it was then the capital city of the Saint-Domingue colony until 1770 when Port-au-Prince became the new capital city.
The town was destroyed by Spanish people in January 1691, after the Battle of La Limonade; La Limonade is a savanna just to the east of Cap-Haïtien.
Later, in 1695, the town was again destroyed by Spanish and English soldiers.
Haiti, known as Saint-Domingue during colonial times, was the richest colony of France, and Cap-Français was the richest city in the colony.
The city was known then as the "Paris of the west".
During the Haitian Revolution, there was a battle on 18 November 1803 in Vertières, near Cap-Haïtien.
In this battle, the army of Jean-Jacques Dessalines defeated a French colonial army led by the Comte de Rochambeau, leading to the independence of Haiti on 1 January 1804.
After the Haitian independence, the country was divided in two parts and the northern part was made a kingdom by Henri Christophe and the name of the city was changed to Cap-Henry.
Christophe made Milot, a town 15 km to the south of the city, the capital of his kingdom.
The city was named Cap-Haïtien after the death of Christophe and when Haiti became again one country.

The long-nosed bandicoot, Perameles nasuta, is a member of the bandicoot family which lives along the east coast of Australia from Victoria to Queensland.
They are also found on the island of Tasmania.
There are four species of long-nosed bandicoots, but Perameles nasuta is found in forests and rainforests.
It has the shortest gestation and highest reproduction rate of all mammals.
They live in small hidden nests, in among shrubs, hollow logs, or old rabbit burrows.
Bandicoots are protected by law, but the areas they like to live in have been cleared for farming or housing.
They are also hunted by dogs, cats and foxes.
Rabbits have eaten many of the plants and made it unsuitable for bandicoots.
Around Sydney, they listed as an endangered species.
The long-nosed bandicoot is a small animal, from 20—42.5 cm long with a thin rat like tail, from 7.5—17 cm in length.
They weigh between 0.5—1.9kg.
They are covered in coarse grey to brown fur, sometimes with a hint of yellow or orange.
Their underbelly is a cream color.
Being a marsupial the females have a rear opening pouch to carry their young.
They have five clawed toes fingers on their front legs.
The long-nosed bandicoot lives by itself, often chasing away other bandicoots.
Their breeding season depends on the region in which they live.
The female gives birth to two or three young after a short gestation period of 12 days.
The tiny babies, blind and hairless, about 13mm in length, then move to the pouch where they are able to drink milk from the females eight nipples.
They leave the pouch at about 54 days.
The female is then ready to breed again.
they live for between three and five years.
The long-nosed bandicoot is a nocturnal animal, coming out at night to find and eat insects, beetles, snails, worms, mice, lizards and tree roots.
They are able to smell their food to find it.
They use their front claws to dig a hole big enough to get their long nose in to find the food.
They can be very unpopular in urban areas for digging up gardens.
While looking for food they make a shrill high pitched squeak.
Euroa is a town in north-east Victoria, Australia about 147 kilometers from Melbourne.
It is close to the Strathbogie Ranges.
In 2006 there were 2,776 people living in the town.
The name Euroa comes from an Aboriginal word meaning "joyful".
The Post Office opened on 1 January 1854 as the township was settled.
Euroa became famous when the bank was robbed by Ned Kelly on December 10, 1878.

The Tōkaidō Shinkansen () is a high speed railway line of Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) in Japan.
It is also the first high speed railway line in the world, and it marked the start of the Shinkansen technology.
There are three types of trains serving this route.
When the Tōkaidō Shinkansen started operations in 1972, only Hikari and Kodama were serving this line.
Among the two trains types, Kodama trains stop at all stations, while the Hikari trains skip some of the stations to make the travel shorter.
In early 1990s, Nozomi was added to the service.
Nozomi trains skips even more stations then the Hikari, which is now the fastest service on this route.
