The Zone

Say hi to the world's thinnest notebook. Jobs and Co have done it again, unleashing the MacBook Air to the world yesterday at Macworld 2008. While it is simply stunning to look at, the Air does have some minor drawbacks - it works only with wireless networks, its too thin for an Ethernet port (can you believe I'm typing this? I can't myself), the baseline USD$1799 model only has a 80GB hdd whereas the USD$3098 one has a 64GB SSD - a whopping price increase, and the fact that all your hardware is sealed like an iPod makes this a tough buy.

On the other hand, it has a gorgeous 13.3" 1280 x 800 screen that is LED-backlit, Micro DVI adapter, Wireless-N, Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR, Core 2 Duo 1.6 or 1.8GHz processor, standard 2GB DDR2-667 memory, full-backlit keyboard AND a multi-touch/gesture pad! All of these in a clamshell that is only 3 pounds (1.3kg) and is only 19mm thick at its thickest point! That's thinner than most mobile phones! And it has a Core 2 Duo inside!!

Its a tough decision to make.
