MacBook Air: First Thoughts
When I first saw Steve Jobs holding the MacBook Air I thought my eyes where deceiving me. Not only has it got pretty much he same horsepower as a MacBook with a new innovative multi touch trackpad but its also about a third of the thickness and three fifths the weight! Making it the worlds thinnest notebook.
When Apple say "Thinnovation" they really mean it, Intel had to shrink the Core 2 Duo chips by 60% to fit its beautiful wing like design which makes it appear to float above your desk while not compromising on speed. A nice surprise was the ability to use a Mac or even PC's DVD drive over a network which more than makes up for the lack of an internal drive. It looks like those who want a fully fledged laptop which they cant feel in there bag have had there prayers answered!
I cant wait to get my hands (and drool) on one when they start appearing at the Apple Store.
