Apple introduces the MacBook Air
MacBook Air is ultrathin, ultraportable and ultra unlike anything else, that is so thin it can fit inside a letter sized envelope. It’s the result of rethinking conventions. Of multiple wireless innovations. And of breakthrough design. With MacBook Air, mobile computing suddenly has a new standard.

Steve Jobs, co-founder and chief executive of Apple, proved the feat when he debuted the notebook at the Macworld Expo and said the notebook offers other goodies for the tech savvy buyer.
Standard features for the computer include Bluetooth, 802.11n WiFi and 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
What’s more, all of the laptop’s motherboard, storage and cooling systems fit on a single board about the length of pencil and to fit into the laptop, Intel had to shrink its processor to about the size of a pound sterling.
The starting price is about $1,800 and is scheduled to ship in two weeks. Apple will also be offering a $3,100 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo model which will be equipped with a 64 GB solid state disk drive for those out there who need serious power.
