What is it?

是什麼？

Well, as you know, Apple makes the best notebooks on the planet.

大家都知道，蘋果公司生產的筆記本電腦是世界上最好的。

The MacBook and the MacBook Pro.

MacBook 和 MacBook Pro。

These are the standards in the industry by which competitive products are judged.

這些都是評判競爭產品的行業標準。

Well today, we're introducing a third kind of notebook.

今天，我們要介紹第三種筆記本。

It's called the MacBook Air.

它叫 MacBook Air。

Now, what is the MacBook Air?

MacBook Air 是什麼？

In a sentence, it's the world's thinnest notebook.

一句話，它是世界上最薄的筆記本電腦。

So, what does that mean?

那麼，這意味著什麼呢？

Well, we went out and looked at all the thin notebooks out there.

好吧，我們出去看了看市面上所有的薄型筆記本。

Most people think of these, the Sony TZ series.

大多數人都會想到索尼 TZ 系列。

They're good notebooks and they're thin.

它們是很好的筆記本，而且很薄。

This is what they look like, side view there.

這就是它們的樣子，側面圖。

We looked at all of them out there and kind of tried to distill the best of the breed of all of them.

我們研究了市面上所有的產品，並試圖從中提煉出最優秀的產品。

They generally weigh about three pounds.

它們一般重約 3 磅。

In this case, in the Sony's case, they're about 0.8 inches to 1.2 inches thin.

在這種情況下，以索尼為例，它們的厚度大約在 0.8 英寸到 1.2 英寸之間。

Their wedge shape is quite representative.

它們的楔形形狀很有代表性。

They compromise, though, to get the weight down on things like the display.

不過，為了減輕顯示屏等部件的重量，他們還是做出了妥協。

They have an 11 or 12 inch display, most of them an 11.

它們有一個 11 或 12 英寸的顯示屏，大多數是 11 英寸。

They also compromise on the keyboard.

他們還在鍵盤上做了妥協。

Instead of putting full size keyboards in, they make miniature keyboards.

他們沒有安裝全尺寸鍵盤，而是製作了微型鍵盤。

And they don't run them as fast as they could because their thermal envelopes don't support faster processors.

由於熱封套不支持速度更快的處理器，它們的運行速度也沒有那麼快。

So we looked at this and we said, what do we like and what do we think is a compromise here?

是以，我們看了看，然後說，我們喜歡什麼，我們認為什麼是折中方案？

We think the weight's a good target, three pounds.

我們認為這個重量是個不錯的目標，3 磅。

But we think there's too much compromising to get there.

但我們認為，要達到這一目標，需要做出太多妥協。

Too much compromising on thickness.

在厚度上妥協太多。

Too much compromising on less than a full size display.

在不到全尺寸顯示屏上做了太多妥協。

Less than a full size keyboard.

小於全尺寸鍵盤

And we think you could put even more performance in one of these products.

我們認為，您可以在這些產品中添加更多性能。

So let's take a look at the thinness first.

我們先來看看它的薄度。

This is that Sony product.

這就是索尼的產品。

Again, one of the best in the field, 1.2 inches down to 0.8 inches.

這也是該領域最出色的產品之一，1.2 英寸縮小到 0.8 英寸。

This is the MacBook Air, 0.76 inches down to an unprecedented 0.16 inches.

這就是 MacBook Air，0.76 英寸縮小到前所未有的 0.16 英寸。

Now I want to point something out here.

現在，我想在這裡指出一點。

The thickest part of the MacBook Air is still thinner than the thinnest part of the TZ series.

MacBook Air 最厚的部分仍比 TZ 系列最薄的部分薄。

We're talking thin here.

我們說的是薄。

So it's so thin, it even fits inside one of these envelopes that we've all seen floating around the office.

它非常薄，甚至可以裝進我們在辦公室裡看到的信封裡。

And so let me go ahead and show it to you now.

現在就讓我把它展示給你們看。

This is it.

就是這裡

Let me take it out here.

讓我把它拿出來。

This is the new MacBook Air, and you can get a feel for how thin it is.

這就是全新 MacBook Air，你可以感受一下它有多薄。

Yeah, there it is.

對，就是這樣。

Look at this.

看看這個。

All right.

好的

Amazing product here.

這裡的產品令人驚歎。

Full-size keyboard, full-size display.

全尺寸鍵盤，全尺寸顯示屏。

And this is what it looks like.

這就是它的樣子。

Isn't that amazing?

是不是很神奇？

So let's go explore this in more detail.

讓我們來詳細探討一下這個問題。

So again, it fits inside one of these envelopes.

同樣，它也可以裝在這些信封裡。

It's that small.

就是這麼小。

This is what it looks like.

看起來就是這樣。

Isn't that incredible?

是不是很不可思議？

It's the world's thinnest notebook.

它是世界上最薄的筆記本電腦。

You open it up.

你把它打開。

It's got a magnetic latch, so there's no hooks or things to catch on your clothing.

它有一個磁性鎖釦，所以不會有鉤子或東西鉤住衣服。

And it's got a full-size 13.3-inch widescreen display.

它還配備了全尺寸的 13.3 英寸寬屏顯示屏。

And the display is gorgeous.

顯示屏也非常漂亮。

It's an LED backlit display.

這是一個 LED 背光顯示屏。

And not only does that save power and not only does that give a really bright display, but it's instant on the minute you open it.

這樣不僅省電，顯示屏也非常明亮，而且一打開就能立即使用。

On top of the display is a built-in iSight camera for video conferencing right out of the box.

顯示屏頂部有一個內置 iSight 攝像頭，開箱即可進行視頻會議。

And you flip it down.

然後把它翻下來。

There is a full-size keyboard.

有一個全尺寸鍵盤。

This is perhaps the best notebook keyboard we've ever shipped.

這也許是我們運送過的最好的筆記本鍵盤。

It's a phenomenal keyboard, and it's full-sized.

它是一款出色的全尺寸鍵盤。

And with the ambient light sensor, it's also backlit.

有了環境光傳感器，它還能背光。

We've got a very generous trackpad, which is great.

我們的觸控板非常寬大，非常出色。

We've also built in multi-touch gesture support.

我們還內置了多點觸控手勢支持。

Now, as you know, our current notebooks have some gestures built in.

大家都知道，我們目前的筆記本內置了一些手勢功能。

We've taken that even further.

我們在此基礎上更進一步。

When you go to Preferences in the MacBook Air, you'll actually get to turn on all sorts of other types of gestures, and there's actually videos in there to show you what they are.

在 MacBook Air 的偏好設置中，你可以打開各種其他類型的手勢，裡面還有視頻向你展示這些手勢。

So let me run through them with you now.

那麼，現在就讓我和你們一起回顧一下吧。

You can double-tap, and instead of moving the cursor around, you can move a whole window around, right?

你可以雙擊，而不是移動遊標，你可以移動整個窗口，對嗎？

Just a nice time-saver.

真是省時省力。

So that's great.

所以這很好。

Here's another one.

這裡還有一個。

When you're in a photo, a large photo, you want to pan around.

當你在一張照片中，一張大照片中，你會想要左右搖動。

You can pan around with just two fingers like this.

你可以像這樣用兩根手指平移。

Another nice time-saver.

又節省了不少時間。

You want to rotate a photo.

您想旋轉照片。

This works in iPhoto and all the other photo apps.

這在 iPhoto 和其他所有照片應用程序中都能使用。

Just rotate like this.

Again, we've taken some of these things we learned in the iPhone, and now we're putting them in our notebook computers.

同樣，我們把在 iPhone 上學到的一些東西應用到了筆記本電腦上。

Here's another one.

這裡還有一個。

If you want to go between photographs, next photo, just take three fingers and pan right.

如果您想在兩張照片之間切換，下一張照片，只需用三根手指向右平移即可。

Previous photo, pan left.

上一張照片，左側平移。

And you want to zoom.

你想放大。

You can pinch in and out.

你可以捏進捏出。

All right?

行嗎？

Isn't that great?

是不是很棒？

So, multi-touch gestures.

那麼，多點觸控手勢。

Pretty amazing.

太神奇了

And again, you can see how beautiful and thin this product is.

同樣，你可以看到這款產品是多麼漂亮和纖薄。

Now, how did we fit a Mac in here?

現在，我們是怎麼把 Mac 裝進這裡的？

How did we do it?

我們是如何做到的？

I'm a little stunned that our engineering team could pull this off.

我們的工程團隊竟然能做到這一點，我有點目瞪口呆。

Well, let's look at the bottom.

好吧，讓我們看看底部。

Take off the bottom, and there's three things in here.

拿掉底部，裡面有三樣東西。

It's a battery, hard disk, and the electronics.

它有電池、硬盤和電子設備。

On the hard disk, we went to 1.8-inch hard drives.

在硬盤方面，我們採用了 1.8 英寸硬盤。

We shipped tens of millions of these in iPods.

我們在 iPod 中裝運了數千萬部這樣的產品。

We know them well, and they're great.

我們很瞭解他們，他們很棒。

And so the MacBook Air ships with an 80-gigabyte hard disk as standard, and there's an option of a 64-gigabyte solid-state disk if you'd like it.

是以，MacBook Air 標配 80GB 硬盤，如果你喜歡，還可以選擇 64GB 固態硬盤。

These are a little pricey, but they are fast.

價格有點貴，但速度很快。

But the real magic is in the electronics.

但真正的神奇之處在於電子設備。

This is a complete Mac on a board.

這是一塊完整的 Mac 板。

Let's take off the cooling system.

把冷卻系統拆下來

That's a complete Mac on this board.

在這塊板子上，這是一個完整的 Mac。

And you think, well, okay, what's so special about that?

你會想，好吧，這有什麼特別的？

Well, this is how big the board is.

好吧，這就是電路板的大小。

It's really tiny.

它真的很小。

And to fit an entire Mac on this thing was an amazing feat of engineering.

把整臺 Mac 裝在這臺機器上是一項了不起的工程壯舉。

And we didn't compromise on performance.

And so when we were building this product, we asked them to consider something.

是以，當我們開發這款產品時，我們請他們考慮一些事情。

This is their amazing Core 2 Duo chip, right?

這就是他們令人驚歎的酷睿 2 Duo 芯片，對嗎？

It's a screamer.

這是一個尖叫者。

We said we want that chip in this product, but we need to go to smaller packaging.

我們說，我們希望在這款產品中使用這種芯片，但我們需要採用更小的包裝。

The same die on a smaller package.

同樣的芯片，更小的封裝。

It sounds easy. It's not.

聽起來很簡單。其實不然。

They spent a lot of, invested a lot of engineering to create this for us.

他們花費了大量的時間，投入了大量的人力物力，為我們創造了這一切。

This is the same chip in a package that is 60% smaller.
