MacBook Air: "The World's Thinnest Notebook", MacBook Air is 0.16" to 0.76"! The thickest part of the MacBook Air is thinner than the thinnest part of the thinnest laptop currently available (wow thats alot of "thins"). It fits inside a manila envelope. It uses a Magnetic latch, and has a 13.3" widescreen display. The display is LED backlit. Has an iSight built-in camera. A MacBook-like keyboard, but with an ambient light sensor. Make use of apple multi-touch technology with a Multi-touch trackpad. New trackpad features allow you to Move a window by double-tap and move.
