Apple Launches MacBook Air

The star of the 2008 Macworld Conference & Expo at the Moscone Center in San Francisco was the ultra-thin, ultra-light MacBook Air, which was unveiled yesterday during the opening keynote address by Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

Claimed to be the thinnest notebook in the world, as one would expect from Apple the new addition to the Macbook range has been beautifully styled. With a sleek wedge shaped anodised aluminium case the Air weighs only 1.3 kg and boasts a variable thickness of 1.9 - 0.4 cm; this is despite its 13.3″ widescreen display, full size keyboard and extra large touchpad. An I/O door on the Macbook’s side neatly hides a headphone jack, USB port and micro-DVI output.
