MacBook Air - Apple’s new laptop
Apple’s latest offering is the their new laptop or simply called “MacBook Air”, Mimicking the 13-inch silhouette of the current MacBook line, it’s .76-inch thick at its thickest part. Apple calls it the “world’s thinnest notebook.”
Though the MacBook Air is not quite the thinnest laptop ever, it is among the thinnest ever seen (the Fujistu LifeBook Q2010 and the Toshiba Portege R500 both measure 0.8 inch thick, but neither tapers to 0.16 inch as the Air does).
The MacBook Air includes the usual iSight camera, an LED backlit display, an ambient light sensor, and a big touchpad that works with multitouch gestures, such as rotating a photo by twisting your fingers on the touchpad.
As for what’s inside this slim laptop, we’re looking at a 1.6GHz or 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, custom-made by Intel to fit into the slim chassis, 2GB of RAM, and a choice of either an 80GB standard 1.8-inch hard drive or a 64GB SSD drive (which really should be standard for something so forward-looking).
