MacBook Air battery lasting 6 hours without Flash

Mid-October, Apple officially launched its latest generation MacBook Air. What is astonishing, the thinnest portable computer is presented without the Flash pre-installed. Are there any benefits for users?

Besides the issue of ‘political’ Apple CEO with Adobe, there is another very big reason that Apple left the latest Flash at the thinnest laptop, especially on the battery life.

Reported by Apple Insider, Monday, in a test conducted Ars Technica on the MacBook Air 11-inch model found that a small laptop is able to perform the Safari web browsing just 4 hours with Flash enabled. However, when Flash is turned off, this laptop can run for more than 6 hours.

Indeed, during Apple CEO Steve Jobs is expressly said that all products made by his company will not be supported by features of Adobe Flash-made, including the products of their new MacBook Air.

It was recently disclosed company spokesman Bill Evans said that Apple will refrain from installing the Adobe Flash platform on all Macs in the future.

Whereas before, Apple embed features pre-installed Adobe’s MacBook Air earlier in the product. Whether for reasons of adherence to the boss or not, the current MacBook Air is the latest generation is sold without pre-install Flash.

However, users still can get Flash by way of the download through the Adobe website. Although sometimes, often the MacBook Air users often fail to do so.
