Apple has introduced, in 2008, the world's thinnest notebook, MacBook Air. It measures an unprecedented 0.16 inches at its thinnest point while its maximum height of 0.76 inches is less than the thinnest point on competing notebooks. In addition to a stunning 13.3-inche LED- backlit widescreen display, MacBook Air offers a full-size and backlit keyboard, a built-in Sight video camera for video conferencing, and a spacious track-pad with multi-touch gesture support, letting users pinch, rotate and swipe. The new notebook is powered by a 1.6 GHz or 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4MB L2 cache and it includes as standard features 2GB of memory, an 80GB 1.8-inch hard drive, and the latest 802.11n Wi-Fi technology and Bluetooth 2.1.
MacBook Air is ultra-thin, ultra-portable, and ultra unlike anything else. But you don't lose inches and pounds overnight. It is the result of rethinking conventions, of multiple wireless innovations, and of breakthrough design. With MacBook Air, mobile computing suddenly has a new standard.
It in nearly as thin as your index finger. Yet it still has a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi-touch trackpad. It's incomparably portable without the usual ultra-portable screen and keyboard compromises.
The incredible thinness of MacBook Air is the result of numerous size-and weight-shaving innovations. From a slimmer hard drive to strategically hidden I/O ports to a lower-profile battery, everything has been considered and reconsidered with thinness in mind. It is designed and engineered to take full advantage of the wireless world. A world in which 802.11n Wi-Fi is now so fast and available, people are truly living untethere - buying and renting movies online, downloading software, and sharing and storing files on the web. It also includes an oversize trackpad with multi-touch technology. You can pinch, swipe, or rotate to zoom in on text, advance through a photo album, or adjust an image. This gesture-based input so successful on iPhone and iPod touch now comes to MacBook.
The backlit LED display allows for an ever thinner build. It provides instant full-screen brightness the moment you open MacBook Air. The mercury-and arsenic-free display is also more power efficient, which translates to longer battery life.
So thin yet so expansive?
Starting at $1,799, MacBook Air begins with a way-more-than-generous 2GB of RAM built in-ample memory for working with your favorite applications. The 80GB hard drive provides plenty of storage space. You have the option to upgrade to a 64GB solid-state drive, which has no moving parts for enhanced durability. Apple Inc.
