It looks like Apple does it again with their 2008 debut of the the thinnest, most eco friendly notebook computer the world has ever seen........the Apple MacBook Air. A seemingly impossible version of a laptop that can fit easily into a manila envelope, is another one of Apples awesome computer creations with a unique & super sexy style, being super slim..... to say the least, its slightly wedge shaped, with the silver finished recycled aluminum chassis. Its ultra-slim design comes in at 0.16" to only 0.76" (3/4's of an inch) at its thickest point. It will definately be the envy of anyone who craves the latest in portable computer technology.
MacBook Air Features
Here now starting at us$1,799.00 (+), Apple is at least attempting to offer another unique product to the retail market at a reasonable price for such amazing technology. The "Air", to be as eco friendly as it can be, is made from recyled aluminum with a traditional laptop footprint of 12.8" x 8.94" at only 3 lbs. It comes with a full size QWERTY keyboard which is also backlit, an awesome razorthin 13.3" smart TFT LED backlit screen, an ambient light sensor, 1280 x 800 pixel resolution, 2gb DDR2 SDRAM, 80GB or 54GB SSD (Solid State Drive) 1.8" harddrive.Custom built for the Air by Intel, are the1.6gb or 1.8gb Intel Core 2 Duo processors. An oversized solid-state multi-touch trackpad is also an excellent feature. The laptop also includes the iSight video camera, micro-DVI port, one usb 2.0 and one audio out port. For graphics work the Mac Air has the Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor with 144MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory installed.
Battery power is estimated at 5 hours while wireless. Like MacBook and MacBook pro, the Air uses a slimmed down MagSafe connector for power. It also comes with a 45 watt power adapter. In keeping with eco isues the Air is made of fuly recylable aluminum, the first to use "mercury free" lcd screens with arsenic-free glass. All circuit boards are BFR- free and PVC-free plus the retail packaging uses 56% less material than their MacBook.
The Air does not come however with a built-in dvd or cd optical drive player but it has the ability through Remote Disc the Air is able to locate drives on other computers within its range to grab the information from a dvd or cd.
As with all of Apple's Macs, the Air has the latest virus resistant OS X Leopard operating system along with ILife. However there is no firewire connector for hooking up your digital video cameras or an ethernet jack when wi-fi is unavailable. A $29 usb ethernet cord is offered to connect via hardwire. 
Want one?? Of course you do, but will you sacrifice features for design? For a laptop its certainly makes the category for breakthrough in its design and style. Also what happens to their product designs if they decide to incorporate OLED technology within Apples laptops? Possibly flexible screens, roll-out displays like a large pen or fold-out FPD smartphones utilizing FOLED (flexible OLED; Organic Light - Emitting Diode technology), & AMOLED (Active Matrix OLED) for example.Only time will tell if people will be hot for for this type of super thin and very lightweight portable MacBook Air but in any case, the "MacAir" Looks like another Apple winner to me!
Now available worldwide.

It looks cool, but besides that, it's nothing special. I don't think it's that big of a deal to have a way thinner computer with way. way less functionality.
