conducted by Apple in October 2008 using preproduction 1.86GHz Intel
Core 2 Duo–based MacBook Air units. Battery life depends on
configuration and use. See www.apple.com/dk/batteries
for more information. The wireless productivity test measures battery
life by wirelessly browsing various websites and editing text in a word
processing document with display brightness set to 50%.
