Apple's New MacBook Air - Page 2

Today, Apple introduced the MacBook Air. Even though it includes a 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display that has a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution, full sized backlit keyboard, Intel Core 2 Duo running at 1.6GHz, etc. this thing:

Is only 3/4" thick at the fattest point (actually going to .016" at the thinnest)
Weighs only 3 f-in pounds!

Holy crap!!!

While the standard HD is an 80 MB Parallel ATA, there is also an option for a 64 GB solid-state disk drive. That's right kiddies - a 64 GB FLASH DRIVE!

And of course, it is beautiful:

In further news, updates to the iPhone (free) and iPod Touch ($20).

They have re-configured the Apple TV and brought the price down. They also introduced (to no-ones surprise) iTunes Movie Rentals. I am not that interested in this as even though it supports HD downloads, these downloads are only 720p. Wake me when you get to 1080p
