MacBook Air (11-inch, Late 2010)

The first 11-inch MacBook Air put a full Mac in a 2.3 lb case with an 11.6-inch screen at 1366×768. It used flash storage instead of a hard disk, a 1.4 GHz or 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo and NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics. It has two USB ports and Mini DisplayPort, but no SD card slot. At US$999 it was the lowest-priced MacBook Air.
