Apple MacBook Air. Worlds Thinnest Laptop Ever!!!! Omg Sexy.

No free upgrade for those who bought Mac's 2 months before Leopard came out = Gheyness. Neither did they offer a significant student discount like they did with previous versions. But luckily z4k hooked it up with his Leopard disc. :bigthumbu

For the iPhone issue, they offered a $100 store credit for the early adopters. Most people were happy with that.

Word z4k FTW!


i honestly think that the air is impractical for what i do with my hp. yet the idea that MB's are basically impeccable with viruses (since most trojans horses, worms, viruses and the such are mostly programmed to PC users since PC has such a larger distribution than MB) makes me kinda wanna get one. besides my laptop does what i need it to do. im happy with it. i dont need another bill thanks.

Stay off the Porn Sites and you won't have to worry bout most visuses:bigthumbu

I don't hate Apple! :(

I actually chose them as my case study for one of my business classes this semester. I mostly hate the way apple markets shit. When I was really close to getting a mac was when OSx had just come out. If anyone remembers the transition from OS9 to OSx, people had to dual boot to run old apps. Its crap like that which makes me not want a mac. Its like F U old users, upgrade or be done but even if you do upgrade, none of the thousands of dollars of old software you own works so you're f'd anyway. IDK...macs are nice, open source everything is the shit, but their business strategies are questionable, its undeniable.

During his Macworld Expo keynote address on Tuesday morning, Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the MacBook Air, a computer that the company billed as the world's thinnest notebook -- small enough to fit inside an interoffice mailing envelope. It's priced starting at $1,799 and will be available within two weeks.

Sporting a silvery finish, the MacBook Air features a 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display that has a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. The backlighting saves power and provides "instant on" response from the moment you turn it on, according to Jobs. The device has a slightly wedge-shaped profile. It weighs about 3 pounds, and sports a thickness of 0.16-0.76 inches. It's 12.8 inches wide and 8.95 inches deep.

The MacBook Air also features a built-in iSight webcam and a full sized MacBook-style black keyboard. The keyboard is backlit, similar to MacBook Pros, and has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness. The trackpad is also capable of recognizing multi-touch gestures, similar to using an iPhone or iPod touch. As a result, the MacBook Air's trackpad is disproportionately large, compared to the size of trackpads found on the MacBook or MacBook Pro.

The MacBook Air features a 1.8-inch hard disk drive with 80GB of storage capacity standard. A 64GB solid-state disk (SSD) drive is an option. The hard drive is a Parallel ATA (PATA) model that operates at 4200 RPM.

The laptop is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo chip running at 1.6GHz, with 1.8GHz available as an option. Jobs noted that Intel was willing to engineer a new version of the Core 2 Duo specifically to Apple's specifications -- it's 60 percent smaller than others. The chip operates with 4MB of on-chip shared L2 cache running at full processor speed, and uses an 800MHz frontside bus. 2GB of 667MH DDR2 SDRAM is also included.

Like the MacBook and the MacBook Pro, the MacBook Air features a slimmed down MagSafe connector for power. It comes with a 45 watt power adapter. A flip-down door on one side reveals USB 2.0, Micro-DVI (to connect an external display) and a headphone jack. The MacBook Air also includes 802.11n-based wireless networking support and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.

Apple estimates that with wireless networking turned on, the MacBook Air can get about 5 hours of battery life.

No internal optical drive is included, but Apple will offer a $99 USB 2.0-based add-on SuperDrive for users who need it. For users that opt not to get the optical drive, Apple is offering a new software feature on this machine called Remote Disk; it enables you to "borrow" the optical drive of another Mac or PC on the same network as the MacBook Air, to use for installing software, for example.

Apple's frequently been in the crosshairs of environmental group Greenpeace in recent years. Jobs offered information about the environmental goals behind the MacBook Air -- it has a fully recyclable aluminum case, and is "the first" to have a mercury-free display with arsenic-free glass. All the circuit boards are BFR-free and PVC-free, and the retail packaging uses 56 percent less material than the MacBook packaging.
