If I am not mistaken, even the oldest Airs first introduced in 2008 are dual core and you should be able to load the most recent OS.

| Joey Starr Senior Member  Still wanking after all these years. 8082 Posts 10/00 |  Posted - Sep 9 2012 : 3:05AMI've had all sort of problems lately since having to revert to Mac OS 10.5 on my old MacBook Air (it used to run 10.6 but the laptop tended to overheat badly with that OS, so after one hard drive was toast I installed 10.5 on the new hard drive). To sum things up, Google Chrome didn't work so great (plus I don't like Google's nosy antics), Firefox crashed, Safari freezed constantly and Opera was not running properly. Anyway, I'm starting to use Camino, and so far so good, very fast and stable, will post an update to let you know about my experience after a week or so. Camino website.

I'm sure you are finding out it rocks, I know you brought up the need for a cd/dvd drive, but I am sorry to say wahine their days are numbered. No different then when manufacturers stopped offering floppy disks on comps or cassette players on stereos. Most machines sport usb ports or a SD card reader and with more reliable, great capacity usb memory sticks and also cloud computing it is reducing the need for a dvd drive. Today you can purchase a 1 TB portable HD that is less then the size of a stack of 10 cd's that will hold literally hundreds of movies or thousands of songs for less then $100.

Still too big? A flash drive is the size of you little finger and 32gb or 64gb are reasonably priced. You can transfer your data, movies, or songs, easily and quickly from you backup drive for travel. Trout "mac on the brain" Bum Getting ready to packup and head to PC in a bit. Long long day ahead.
