The SSD module can be upgraded after purchase with third-party options, too. However, the higher-end MD224LL/A 11-Inch configuration can be equipped with 256 GB or 512 GB of storage at the time of purchase for an additional US$300 or US$800, respectively, and the higher-end MD232LL/A 13-Inch configuration can be equipped with 512 GB of storage at the time of purchase for an additional US$500. Batteries likewise are not intended to be removed, and provide an estimate of 5 hours of runtime for the 11-Inch model and 7 hours of runtime for the 13-Inch model.īy default, the 11-Inch model is provided with either 64 GB or 128 GB of storage and the 13-Inch model is provided with either 128 GB or 256 GB of storage. Flash memory storage is not intended to be upgraded after purchase, but it is mounted on a removable module. These models also can be pinpointed by model identifier in software, and use MacBookAir5,1 for the 11-Inch model and MacBookAir5,2 for the 13-Inch model.īoth lines have 4 GB of 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM soldered onboard (either can be upgraded to 8 GB of RAM for an extra US$100, but only at the time of purchase) and have "integrated" Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics processors that share system memory (and cannot be upgraded at all). has painstakingly hand documented these details for your convenience. However, as future models likely will share the same model number, the EMC numbers - 25, for the 11-Inch and 13-Inch models, respectively, will be better for long-term identification. At the time this Q&A was written (see top), it is possible to externally identify these models by model number alone. The "Mid-2012" MacBook Air models have unique model numbers - specifically A1465 for the 11-Inch and A1466 for the 13-Inch. Neither model supports a remote via IR, either. Neither has Firewire, optical audio in/out, or Ethernet, although an external Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet adapter is offered for US$29.

Connectivity between the "Mid-2012" models is the same with notable exception.
