unveiled today by apple, and a huge thing for product designers as it means a new product thats way beyond whats out at the moment!!
and they delivered big time!!
Macbook air is just amazing, the size is unreal and id love to know how they managed to get it soo thin!!

www.apple.com have a look and check out the demo for it!

some real interesting ideas such as the optical wireless drive!! and the sensor pad doing soo much more like the iphone interaction!!

They make it so thin by missing things like a user replaceable battery out.

There are also smaller vaio's etc but looks good.

Looks the nuts, but im sure like most apple things has lots wrong with it, Apple charge $129 to replace the battery.

Check this page out loads on the Mac stuff at the convention.

Impressive bit of engineering but not a massive market for it IMO. Its a hell of a lot to pay for the spec. Are there that many people that wan't such a small laptop? I would rather spend the extra and have the connectivity, more ram, HDD etc.

IMO its a great idea in practice but its nothing more than an (expensive) terminal, especially with the Time Capsule thats released to go with it.

looks very nice, but in terms of specs, you can beat that hands down with a Vaio.
