MacBook Air Video Guided Tour
The MacBook Air, "the world's thinnest notebook", was announced by Steve Jobs today. He boasted that at its thickest point it is only 0.76 inches across.
The unit has a 13.3" lcd monitor, a full sized keyboard, 2gig ram, 802.11n networking, webcam, dual core processor, and a choice of a regular or solid state hard drive. Quite an accomplishment! But where is the optical (cd/dvd) drive? There isn't one! So it is not really fair to call it the world's thinnest notebook as it doesn't have all the components that most other notebooks have.
Still, if you don't need to watch dvds on your laptop, and you're happy renting films from itunes (as Steve would like), then it looks like a great little unit.
