Behold: the thinnest laptop ever made (until today, at least), Apple MacBook Air

During the the Macworld Expo, Apple introduced their newest laptop: MacBook Air. According to the AppleMan himself (Jobs), MBA (macbook air) is the thinnest laptop in the world. Hey, I believe that. With 1,93 cm and 0,4 cm for the heights, and weighs no more than 1,3kg, I’d carry this around. Heck, I’m carrying at least 5 kilo on my back with my current A6 laptop; I’m afraid I’m gonna lose this one, due to it’s lightness… it’s gonna be like ‘I’m carrying no laptop’-feeling (even Vaio TZ is even heavier and bigger)

13,3 inch LED-backlit screen is a plus point, instant on, and presumably enhanced battery-life support. The multi touch-trackpad? I’m sold! Oh yeah, did I mentioned the built in camera.

1,8″ 80GB HDD is propped into the case, is the standard HDD. I’d go with the optional 64GB SSD (solid state drive, it’s like the compact flash / secure digital chips, I think)

I’m still wondering how the heck Apple can fit all the gadgets in such a thin case: 1,6GHz Core2 Duo, N-band wifi, bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (WOW!!), magsafe, microDVI, 2GB RAM, 3.5″ jack for the headphone (wow?).

Allright, no optical drive, but you can have one for less than €50, you know… the USB thingie… Or if you’re a Applenatic, there’s one superdrive, also USB, for US$99. They also this new Remote Disc feature, to use the optical drive of another computer (both Mac and PC). Pretty sweet, I’d say….

What sucks is: no replaceable battery. Heck… that was the case with the old iPod…. but nowadays you can buy the Do-It-Yourself iPod Battery Replacement kit for under the US$50 I won’t be surprised that in the near future, very near, you’d find one in your not-an-Apple-retailer: MacBook Air Battery Replacement Kit

Oh yeah, the going price for MacBook Air is starting from US$1800 (okay, Apple says it’s 1799, what’s the big fuzz about one freakin’ dollar anyways…)

*is there anyone getting horny with the MacBook Air?

Am I going to get one?
I dunno… I even don’t know where’s the Start-button of Mac OS/X
