MacBook Air First Issues

MacBook Air has just been launched and the problems started to appear.

According to Apple, some customers encountered some problems with the wireless connectivity and the Windows installation when the Remote Disc is used.

Also not all headphones are properly jacking into the thinnest notebook.

Apple declared that when closing the notebook to use an external display, you might see a throughput reduction or wireless networks that use 2.4GHz band, and the solution would be to switch the frequency range, try another channel/wireless access point or take the notebook closer to the base station.

“Other MacBook Air wireless issues involve slow speeds when connected to multiple Bluetooth devices and balky routers that refuse to work the Remote Disc magic. For the latter, Apple suggested that users update the firmware of their non-Apple 802.11n wireless routers to get disc-sharing operational”, Apple said.

The conclusion is that you can’t install Windows XP or Windows Vista in a Boot Camp partition via Remote Disc CD/DVD software and you have to use an external optical drive.
MacBook Air owners need to go to Apple Stores and get a third-party adapter to extend the audio connection outside of the nearly hidden port.
