Apple Macboook Air

Apple Macbook AirApple recently launched an ultra-thin notebook dubbed the “Macbook Air”. Apple says its ultra-thin, ultra-portable, and ultra unlike anything else. I would have to agree. The notebook incorporates the multi-touch functions of the iPhone and iPod Touch into the track-pad of the new laptop. This means you will be able to use features like pinching, to zoom in on a photo. The notebook features a 13.3″ widescreen display that is backlit by LEDs to conserve energy; this provides ultra-long battery life. Although the notebook itself is very small, the keyboard is still full size.

The only thing apple wasn’t able to shove into this paper thing computer was an optical drive. However, they developed a new solution wherein you can wireless access nearby computers optical drives should you ever need to use a CD or DVD.
