On 15th of January, Apple rolls out super-slim laptop - the Macbook Air which is ultimately thin with 0.16 inches thick at the bottom and 0.76 inches on the top. It’s even thin enough to fit in a manila envelope!

What’s it include?

• Height of 0.16-0.76 inch
• Width and Depth of 12.8 and 8.94 inches respectively

• Impressive weight of only 3 pounds!
• Intel Core 2 Duo Processor at 1.6 or 1.8GHz with 4MB on-chip shared L2 cache and 800MHz frontside bus
• 1.8-inch 80GB hard drive with optional 64GB flash-based solid state drive as an upgrade.

• Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor with 144MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory
• Oversize trackpad with multi-touch technology which you can pinch, swipe, or rotate to zoom in and out or adjust images.
• 13.3-inch widescreen TFT backlit LED Displays with maximum resolution of 1280×800 which provides instant full-screen brightness the moment you open it and allows longer battery life as it is more power efficient.

• Almost invisible hidden ports: a USB 2.0 port, a headphone jack, and a micro-DVI port that supports DVI, VGA, composite, and S-video output.

Macbook Ports - www.apple.com
• Built-in Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
• Built-in AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi wireless networking
• 2GB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM onboard
• 5 hours of battery life

Unfortunately, Macbook Air doesn’t include built-in optical drive for reading CDs or DVDs. Apple claims that consumers won’t miss out this feature because they can download videos and musics from the internet or install software by accessing the drives from other Macs or PCs within a network. They can also purchase external drive to read CDs or DVDs.

Macbook Air will cost $1799 when it goes on sale in 2 weeks.

My two cents:
Over time, the computer components are getting smaller and smaller, but the hardness of them may be reduced and cause them to be easier to break. Thus, users must be very careful when using Macbook Air.
