At the Apple conference the other day, Steve Jobs asked a rather interesting question "what would happen if the iPad tablet and the MacBook Air met?", well the new version of the MacBook Air is the result and I have to admit the fact that is quite an attractive result. Steve Jobs said that in the new line of MacBooks they borrowed the flash storage from iDevices, which is almost 2 times faster than a normal SSD and in addition allows the use of the instant on function, which means a very, very small boot time and the return instantiated from Sleep Mode. In the clip in the video above we have a MacBook Air and a first-generation MacBook, and the instant on function of the new MacBook Air makes its presence felt only in the case of the start-up time, which is significantly shorter than that of the MacBook.
The instant on function of the new MacBook Air is not quite as great as Steve Jobs wanted to present it to us, but it dramatically reduces the boot time of the operating system, so from this point of view Apple has made great progress.
