MacBook Air

Welcome to the newly announced MacBook Air! This is Apple's first attempt at an ultra portable notebook. It has the same size 13.3" widescreen screen, but features an LED backlit screen. Also included is full sized keyboard with fiber-optic backlighting taken from the MacBook Pro and a multi-touch trackpad with iPhone like features. 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.0 is also built-in as standard equipment. A USB 2.0, audio line out, and Micro DVI Port complements the rest of the ports. The entire notebook measures only .76" thick and only weighs 3 lbs! Because of this, Apple had to leave out the optical drive and is an optional add-on. If you choose not to purchase the optical drive, there's a utility that will allow you to share an optical drive from nearly any Mac or PC. The MacBook Air uses a 1.8" notebook hard drive in 120 GB HD, or a 128 GB SSD (Solid State Hard Drive) option, a first ever for an Apple Computer! Missing from the specs is ethernet, FireWire, and audio line-in.
