This update of EveryMac.com features complete specs, identifiers, and prices on the new education-only MacBook Air, preliminary compatibility information on the forthcoming OS X "Mountain Lion," and a handful of new and updated Q&As. EveryMac.com also is pleased to welcome new host WebMate.
MacMate offers multi-server and geographic redundant hosting for 100% uptime and availability. When reliable, global hosting is important to your business, please get in touch with MacMate.
Wondering whether or not the forthcoming OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" will work with your Mac? EveryMac.com has the answer.
Additionally, the Currently Shipping, By Year, By Processor, By Case Type, By Capability, and By Identifier Mac specs listings have been updated.
The Ultimate Mac Comparison, Ultimate Mac Lookup, and Ultimate Mac Sort features all have been updated, too.
If you work for an educational institution and purchase a pack of education-only MacBook Air systems, please send in the serial numbers for EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Lookup. It is is believed that this model only can be differentiated uniquely on hardware and in software by this single, non-personal identifier. Consequently, your additions are important particularly. Thank you.
