And with video using 256 MB of that memory, it has even less available system memory than the Early 2006 model. If you buy one with 2 GB of RAM, that’s all you’ll ever have. (Both the Late 2008 and Mid 2009 1.86 GHz models are identified as MacBookAir2,1, so it’s likely that the 1.86 GHz results include both the Late 2008 SSD model and the Mid 2009 hard drive model.)Īs with the original MBA, worst thing about the 2009 model has always been that memory is soldered to the system board and cannot be upgraded. 1.6 GHz Late 2008 MBA with hard drive, 1453.model offers just 7% better performance than the 1.86 GHz Late 2008 MacBook Air, as these Geekbench 3 32-bit multicore results show:
This was the last MacBook Air to ship with OS X 10.5 Leopard, the same Mac OS that shipped with the original MBA.Īlthough its clock speed is 15% faster, the 2. The 120 GB 1.8″ hard drive is the same one found in the Late 2008 MacBook Air. It also has the same GeForce 9400M graphics chip, which takes the video burden off the CPU but also uses 256 MB of system memory. The 2009 MBA also has a faster CPU with the same 6 MB Level 2 cache and a 1066 MHz memory bus as the Late 2008 MBA. It runs at up to 2.13 GHz – almost 15% faster by clock speed – but it is still limited to 2 GB of RAM. The Mid 2009 MacBook Air was essentially a speed-bumped version of the Late 2008 MacBook Air.
