Apple MacBook Air Mid 2012 A1466 i7 3667U 2GHz 8GB 256GB SSD 13.3" | 3mth Wty

The MacBook Air "Core i7" 2.0 13-Inch (Mid-2012/USB 3.0) originally was offered as a "configure-to-order" configuration of the MD232LL/A MacBook Air "Core i5" 1.8 13-Inch (Mid-2012), but was sold as a standard configuration, as well. Other than processor (and the corresponding larger level 3 cache), these two models can be identical.

The Apple MacBook Air "Core i7" 2.0 13" (Mid-2012/USB 3.0) features a 22-nm "Ivy Bridge" 2.0 GHz Intel "Core i7" processor (3667U) with two independent processor "cores" on a single chip, a 3 MB shared level 3 cache, 4 GB or 8 GB of onboard 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM (which cannot be upgraded after purchase), 256 GB or 512 GB of flash storage, and an "integrated" Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics processor that shares system memory.

This all is packed in a razor thin (0.11-0.68 inch), 2.96 pound, aluminum case with an integrated 720p "FaceTime HD" webcam, a backlit full-size keyboard and a 13.3" widescreen TFT LED backlit active-matrix "glossy" display (1440x900 native resolution). Connectivity includes 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, analog audio out, a "Thunderbolt" port, two USB 3.0 ports, and an SDXC-capable SD card slot. It lacks internal Ethernet, although an external Thunderbolt adapter was offered as a US$29 option. Compared to its predecessor, this model has a very similar external enclosure, although it has the aforementioned USB 3.0 ports and a new thinner and wider "MagSafe 2" power connector. Internally, however, it has a faster processor, architecture, graphics, RAM, and storage.
