You won’t believe how thin Apple’s breakthrough notebook looks (includes full specs)
The new ultra-thin MacBook Air is amazingly skinny, as Apple’s official product photos show. We’ve seen thin laptops before (Toshiba’s R500 comes to mind), but the decision to leave out an optical drive puts the Air a league ahead in terms of 13.3inch portability.

We’ve posted the full spec list below, followed by the official press pics.

MacBook Air - Spec list
  • 13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display with 1280x800 resolution
  • 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4MB L2 cache
  • 800 MHz front-side bus
  • 2GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
  • 80GB hard disk drive with Sudden Motion Sensor
  • Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
  • Micro-DVI port (includes Micro-DVI to VGA and Micro-DVI to DVI Adapters)
  • built-in iSight video camera
  • built-in AirPort Extreme 802.11n wireless networking and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR
  • one USB 2.0 port
  • one headphone port
  • multi-touch TrackPad with support for advanced multi-touch gestures
  • including tap, scroll, pinch, rotate and swipe
  • 45 Watt MagSafe Power Adapter.
