Let’s get moving

It’s easy to move files like documents, email, photos, music, and movies to your new Mac from another Mac or a PC. The first time you start your new Mac, it will walk you through the process step by step. All you have to do is follow the onscreen instructions.

ME662LL/A specifications

The Apple ME662LL/A and ME116LL/A are two notable models from Apple's MacBook Air lineup, which have earned a reputation for their blend of portability, performance, and style. Both models are highly regarded for their lightweight design and powerful capabilities, making them ideal choices for students, professionals, and everyday users alike.

The ME662LL/A, commonly known as the MacBook Air 13-inch (2013 model), showcases a sleek aluminum chassis that enhances both durability and aesthetics.

On the other hand, the ME116LL/A or MacBook Air 11-inch (2013 model) offers a compact alternative without sacrificing performance.

Although the smaller screen size contributes to reduced overall display resolution, it still delivers sharp visuals suitable for various tasks.

Both models come equipped with a Retina display that enhances clarity, brightness, and color accuracy, crucial for design work or media consumption. The keyboard features Apple's renowned design, providing a comfortable typing experience, while the integrated trackpad offers precision gestures for easy navigation.

Battery life is another standout feature, with both models boasting impressive longevity. Users can expect up to 12 hours of web browsing or video playback, making them suitable for all-day use without requiring frequent recharging.

In terms of connectivity, the MacBook Air models offer various ports, including USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt, enabling quick data transfers and compatibility with external devices. These features, combined with macOS, which offers a seamless ecosystem and productivity tools, make the ME662LL/A and ME116LL/A strong contenders in the ultraportable laptop market. Their combination of performance, design, and battery efficiency continues to attract users seeking reliable and stylish computing solutions.
