One of my co-worker is looking for a “small and thin” laptop and I think her search is over. Apple MacBook Air was announced at Mac World this week. Check out the dimensions first: 12.8" wide, 8.94" deep, and 0.16" to 0.76" thin and weight: 3.0 lbs (1.36 kg).
The entire laptop is only 0.76” thick! That is the base + lcd for less than 2 centimeters! This makes this laptop to be the thinnest laptop in the world today. But the immediate trade off is that there is no CD/DVD drive attached and only one USB port. However, the MacBook Air seems to have a new generation of wireless solutions: 802.11n2 and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR wireless technologies. Remote Disc option allows you to easily access other Mac computers’ DVD drive.
To me, the real eye catching component is the multi-touch trackpad, yeah, just like the iPhones…
Another thing worth to mention about the “thinnest laptop” is the 13.3”” widescreen LED supports resolutions up to 1280 x 800. This means you gonna get crystal clear images and good coloring from it.
What’s need to be noticed is the CPU power is not so great considering you can only upgrade it from 1.6GHz to 1.8GHz, and the price nearly doubled (originally at $1799, now $3,098). But you also get an extra of 2GB RAM memory though.
Here are the full specs of the default model: $179913.3" Widescreen LED Backlit (1280 x 800)Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6GHz and 1.5GHz (4MB L2 cache, 800MHz frontside bus)1.8" 80GB HD (same type in iPod) or 64GB SSD optionMulti-touch trackpad2GB RAM (667MHz DDR2 SDRAM)Intel X3100 graphicsMagnetic latch1 USB 2.0 port, Micro-DVI, Audio out (analog)802.11n wirelessBluetooth 2.1 + EDRiSight camera built-in37 watt-hour lithium-polymer batteryNo optical drive built-in, but SuperDrive accessory available for $99
