MacBook Air World’s Thinnest Laptop
Finally, a Mac that has definitely gotten me tempted to make my first purchase! It starts at a mere $1799, more details and to pre-order at apple.com.Â
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.
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.
- Intel Core 2 Duo processor
- 2GB memory
- 80GB 4200-rpm PATA hard drive1
- Built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi2 and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
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.

I wish I could buy one of them. It seems a great product.
I will add this to my wish list!

Crikey, I would be frightened of using that incase I snap it. Lol, it looks more like a dinner mat than a laptop.
I have to admit though, it does look pretty cool.
Do you currently use a mac now. My friend has one and I just don’t really like it. But i agree that this laptop is incredible and the first of its kind.
I think it is terribly pretty. How user friendly is it i wonder, it seems sort of insubstantial.
Lovely…
The looks are good but what’s the use of macbook without an external drive like DVD writer or so
From its picture itself, it looks quite attractive. I would also like to purchase one.
I love the new mac air, but it seems like it will break soooo easily.
Its unbelievable how thin the notebook is. Its as thin as my keyboard!
Wow—it’s so amazing what technology has come to. This product looks awesome, I’m going to have to check it out in real life just so I can see it for myself!!
It is gorgeous–but I’d break it; I’m way too hard on my laptops!
However, if I had the dough, I’d buy one just to carry around with me to snooty coffee shops and look cool.

dang… what i would give to have one of those! if be the big man on campus with one of those things :/
Wow- thin, powerful, and relatively affordable.
That is a must buy product and it is just unbelievable that a big computer (monitor, ups, keyboard , cpu ) has become almost a magazine, you can carry it anywhere…what will be the future ????????/
well eventually they re just gonna put a chip in your brain and then you can sit in like an isolated pod and never have to leave or have actual real interaction with ppl.

You can purchase an external drive as an option but with the wireless tech feature it comes with you can connect to any drive within the area just put a CD in a desktop and use the remote wireless install feature that the MacBook Air comes with.
As for the DVD drive – have you heard of downloading movies via the net and also movie rental stores are starting to rent out thumb drives with movies on them.
It’s a give/take world and if you want something smaller then you must be willing to accept change and just go with it and if not you can continue on and drag around your 50 lb notebook on your business/leisure trips.
I love the new MacBook Air it’s a great add to their product range!
I have read about it a lot lately. I think it looks simply awesome. I would love to have one for myself.
I wish I had one this week, I went to a convention in Vegas and had to lug my Toshiba Satellite around with me.
I love the commercial where they pull a Macbook Air out of post envelope. I think it will be easy to misplace that laptop because of its small size.
And here’s the song from the Macbook Air commercial, if anyone else likes it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBCfW9-hjKI
Yeah I saw it last night for the first time on tv but I had watched it prior on the mac site.
It looks very cool. I wish I could afford one! Looks like you could snap it in two it is so thin.
Wow! I feel like reaching out to grab this right now. Its awesome.
I want to cry!!!
I wish I can buy it. It is my number one in the wish list!!!
I am sure it is the best laptop ever.
Francesco
I prefer PC over Mac because I guess the familiarity. I took a look at the commercial and was shocked. Mac is so innovative! iphone now this. When will it stop. My guess is never!!!!
It is great. Apple will always get the wow factor
I heard that you aren’t able to switch the batteries. That’s definitely a large setback../..
Look what the new MacBook Air is doing to other laptops! Unbelievable, I guess this is how women feel.

Can you believe how fast the tech world is changing.
I know the eeePC has a small keyboard and what not – but the only reason I’d consider buying the air is for travel and when I am traveling I really don’t need the full size keyboard.
The price difference between the two has got me feeling that the air aint worth it.
It sounds like it’s sleeting, but every time I turn on the outside light & look, nothings happening.
it’s such a beauty!
would get one pretty soon
i wonder whether it is reliable o not?
Greatly,unusual.But hardware is not the best they could include:( I won’t buy such one
Oh Yeah, I just read about it recently… Damn, it will be like 96 grands in Indian currency. Almost equal to what Fujitsu laptops are for. But worth a buy obviously.
I’m expecting to buy my MacBook air in two months time, i can’t wait to use it on the living room sofa instead of sitting at your desk.
It looks cool but nothing much inside… unfortunately
“It looks cool but nothing much inside”
A bit like Paris Hilton then?
I can already sit in my living room typing this on my Latitude D600. It is light and portable yet contains a DVRW. Admittedly the MacBook Air looks better, but is that a good enough reason to pay so much ?
World thinnest laptop… come to think of it im guy rough guy…
Mac book air is the best!
NO DVD drive?… and a small solid state HD, I’m not buying it.
People are buying things far too often for what they look like rather than the content. I cannot justify spending that much money just because its super thin! Love the advert, not the product!
I just can’t get excited about this one. I have a fairly small laptop (12.1″ screen), but I love that it’s just a little bit thick. It doesn’t feel like I’m going to break it if I hold it up with a single hand.
Did you ever get the Air? It’s not something I could ever use as a primary machine due to the lack of features but I could see it being an attractive secondary laptop.
MacBook Air in Philippines cost about PHP100k it’s around $2.3k
MacBook air are expensive with less feautures.
MacPro is still the best… *cheers*
A really great innovation on laptop. I’ll set it as a goal to have it this month!
wow!thats a very thin laptop, I wonder when can I buy something like that.
Yep. It’s neat that it could fit in those envelopes =) But without a LAN port =/ Hehe. Need to rely on wireless then at home. Iphone + Mac Air = Godlike
It’s gorgeous but technically awful! I think I’ll stick to my sony vaio!
John
i want this, i want this…the world thinnest notebook!!!it look very cool and cute
there are few disadvantages but i still want it…heheh
Looks like Apple has again pioneered a state of the art gizmo. Macs are wonderful pieces of equipment and can be considered masterpieces in their category.
I’d better start saving and get one of these.
…many thanks for the info.
i guess thin is really in among technology
lol
It certainly looks stunning, but for me, i think it isnt practical at all. Just my 2 cents btw =)
Its awesome and amazingly thin, but just a little bit too delicate for my hands! I’m a natural born clutz so I wouldn’t dare come within 5 feet of this little laptop.
I am sure it is the best laptop ever and i love it.
Exactly! Too delicate. My laptop takes a hammering on train journeys and i also use it to DJ live. It wouldnt last five minutes!
I just bought a laptop a week ago and I still don’t know about that laptop. I only I knew it before, I definitely bought that one but I still have a solution for that. I am selling my laptop now to my friends even at lower price so that I can buy that one.
The MacBook Air sparked my interest in Apple laptops – I was previously only a PC user. So I went into the Apple store and started playing around with all the different computers. I ended up buying a 17″ MacBook Pro.
I love it! I’ll never own a PC laptop again!!!

Ya i think apple is great !
I was so much interested about in this apple laptop because it was so much thin and it was easy to carry and i love it very much.
hmm wat nice laptop but we should keep it as so carefull .It’s not something I could ever use as a primary machine due to the lack of features but I could see it being an attractive secondary laptop.i wish you people to find the laptop in too small try it and drop it okay !!!!!!
macbook air is just amazing, it looks almost impossibly thin!
The manilla envelope macbook is a legend that really set the trend towards ultra slim and portable notebooks alight. Loads of other manufacturers are now coming to the fore with their own ultra slim offerings, but they will always remain followers in a market where leaders and trendsetters are the most successful.
Hello
Wow! Really good. I would love to have this but Its too expensive for me…
