Design

What makes the Air so thin?

MacBook Air is nearly as thin as your index finger. Practically every detail that could be streamlined, has been. 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 ultraportable screen and keyboard compromises.


Features

So many innovations. So little space.

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, every detail has been considered and reconsidered with thinness in mind.


Wireless


Built for the wireless world.
MacBook Air 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 so available, people are truly living untethered — buying and renting movies online, downloading software, and sharing and storing files on the web.


Ultra thin. Ultra portable. And ultra unlike anything else.

quote:
Widescreen display

Its 13.3-inch widescreen LED backlit display delivers 1280-by-800 resolution which produces vibrant images and rich colors. The LED technology also conserves battery life.

Full-size keyboard

The full-size, illuminated keyboard is perfect for staying productive on a plane or in a conference hall.

The genius of multi-touch

The MacBook Air trackpad adopts many of the innovative multi-touch gestures from the Apple iPhone, so you can pinch, swipe or rotate by simply moving your fingers.

Get more out of MacBook Air

Out of the box, your MacBook Air can have all the software you need preinstalled. Mac OS X Leopard and iLife ’08 come standard, and iWork ’08 is available as an option.

Flat-out stunning

Between 0.16 to 0.76 inch thin and weighing only 3.0 pounds, MacBook Air sets new standards for ultra-portable computing — without the usual ultra-portable compromises.

Next-generation wireless

With blazing-fast 802.11n2 and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR wireless technologies built in, MacBook Air takes full advantage of the increasingly wireless world.

Remote Disc

An innovative feature that allows you to access the DVD or CD drive of a nearby Mac or Windows PC. It’s perfect for installing software and retrieving files.

Latest Intel mobile architecture

MacBook Air features an Intel Core 2 Duo processor up to 1.8GHz — custom-built to fit within its compact dimensions.

Edit: No offence to the mac fans out there. But I think it's a big waste of money, no matter how "innovative" it is (yes I know it has an SSD).

As much as I hate Apple, this thing is actually pretty cool. The specs are decent (could use more HD space), and the price is a little high, but that's to be expected considering it's a Mac and it's "new" and shit. Would make for a hell of a machine for mp3 DJs.
