BRAND NEW [WEDNESDAY]

Light as Air

March 5, 2008

As if the people at Apple haven’t already done enough to sweep us off our feet.  Then wouldn’t you know it, we get introduced to the all-new gorgeous and slender MacBook Air.  Glory be.  Our hearts are a-flutter. . .

The world’s thinnest notebook, MacBook Air can literally slip into a file folder.
 
How’d they do it?  From a slimmer hard drive to strategically hidden I/O ports to a lower-profile battery, everything was considered and reconsidered.

Between 0.16 to 0.76 inches thin and weighing only 3 pounds, MacBook Air sets a whole new standard for ultra-portable computing.  The full-size, illuminated keyboard is perfect for staying productive on a plane or in a conference room.  Its 13.3-inch widescreen LED backlit display means no compromise on screen size.  And like the Apple iPhone, the large trackpad adopts many of the innovative Multi-Touch gestures, so you can pinch, swipe or rotate by simply moving your fingers.

Go ahead, fall in love.

MacBook Air, starting at $1899.
