MacBook Air : As thin as one could get

Motorola in mobiles and Apple in laptops. This slim thing has certainly turned heads towards it. Now apple are coming out with their slim lappies. MacBook Air. If 2007 was iphone year 2008 would surely be McBook Air year, a new slim 13.3 inch laptop that barely weighs about 3 pounds, sports a thickness of 0.16-0.76 inches, is 12.8 inches wide and 8.95 inches deep. And add this, display resolution of 1280X800.
As SRK says, "dosto picture abhi baaki hai"(friends, the movie is not over yet), like existing macbooks, this macbook too has a full size keyboard which is backlit and sports an ambient light sensor that can adjust brightness. Not only this, as you would have found in iphones, this macbooks touchpad is also capable of recognizing and using multi-touch. Another interesting option that the new Macbook Air offers is the option of using a 64 GB SSD as an option for storage. The standard HDD has been slimmed to a normal PATA 4200 RPM 1.8 inch laptop drive.

For its processing power the new Macbook Air utilizes an Intel C2D processing running at 1.6 GHz (with 1.8 GHz being offered as an option), 2 GB of DDR 2 667 RAM on an 800 MHz FSB. The Macbook Air also sports USB 2.0 jacks, Micro-DVI support for external display connectivity and full support for both 802.11n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. In terms of battery life Apple has said that with the SSD option, the laptop is capable of easily introducing 5 hrs of battery.

Now as all good things come at cost here goes the list of disadvantages. Firstly it’s fairly watered down and does not offer much in the way of power. In comparison with other 13.3 inch laptops, its battery life seems to be a little better but it loses marks for offering such basic storage options. Another thing is its cost. Its base model retails at $1798 and for a full fledged machine climbs for over $3,200. In this space it’s directly competing with its own brothers which will of course leave it in the dust. But that wont be a matter with those you techies who are big fan of Apple. This MacBook Air would surely become a feather in Apple cap and rather not fly in the Air.
