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. Its 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.

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

Utter bollocks.
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 . Would make for a hell of a machine for mp3 DJs. |
