Apple has been known to raise the bar when it comes to consumer electronics, and they aren’t disappointing with their latest laptop computer introduction. Behold the future of mobile computing, Introducing MacBook Air. The world’s thinnest notebook. From $1,799. This amazing 13.3 inch LED widescreen computer, that Steve Jobs showed at the Macworld 2008 conference, is what the world has been waiting for in the advancement for the next generation of computers. At between .16″ and .76″ and weighing only 3 pounds, it’s so light that you’ll be taking this ultra-portable everywhere without it slowing you down. Even being this small you won’t have to sacrifice performance because it comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 gigabytes of memory with an 80 gigabyte hard drive. As you might expect it has Bluetooth + EDR capabilities and has built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi, so you’re ready for the next generation of wireless connectivity. You’ll even be impressed with the full-size backlit keyboard for working in dimly lit places, and the trackpad borrows functional innovations from the iPhone like pinching, swiping, and rotating.

It doesn’t stop there as it can remotely access optical drives from other computers, both Mac and PC, allowing you install software from an optical drive that isn’t physically connected. You may think that being so small and thin might make this a delicate computer, but with its aluminum skin the MacBook Air is durable as well. Although for some serious hardcore computing people this may not be enough, and Apple will delight you with an optional 64 gigabyte solid state hard drive and of course that will cost you extra, but you can’t put a price on performance. With this purchase you can expect to get the most advanced operating system as well, because it comes with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard installed. Preorder order your Apple MacBook Air today and you can have it within a few weeks, and change the way you compute.
