Macworld: Steve Jobs Announces Super-Thin MacBook Air (AAPL)

Dan Frommer | January 15, 2008 1:34 PM

As widely anticipated, Steve Jobs announced a sexy, super-thin laptop during his Macworld keynote: MacBook Air. Apple is billing it as "the world's thinnest notebook." The catch, at least for Apple's less affluent customers: The Air is not cheap. Initial retail price will be $1,799.

But back to the gadget porn: The computer has a LED-backlit, 13.3-inch widescreen display, and ranges in thickness from 0.16" to 0.76". It has a full-size keyboard and, as rumored, a multi-touch trackpad. To keep things light, Apple did away with the DVD drive. Some more stats: 1.6 GHz or 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo chip, 80-gig standard hard drive or 64-gig Flash storage, 5-hour battery life.

This announcement makes complete sense: Laptops are leading Apple's "ginormous" Mac growth, and the company hasn't had a super-small laptop since it retired the 12-inch PowerBook.

I have played for about two years old. I also have a better strategy which is the way of gaining Sho Online Mun.
I thought that now grasp C to exchange Sho Online gold can waste too much of time and the result also could not gain more Sho Mun.
I explain here, beat yellow, red and blue gemstones which there are not many people use these three gemstones and therefore could not exchange for the number of Sho gold.
If you move your character to a gateway, a full map will appear allowing you to buy Sho Online gold to choose a zone

this is quite great, how you are selling these fine items for less then 3/4 of the original price. Because all the things that my band want, are on this website. I need to ask you a question,
are the sony mylo's on your website the sony mylo 1, or the sony mylo 2? because if they are the two's then that is another thing i am buying from your company. And how do i need to pay EN-SYNC LTD, cash, check, credit? because it would be great if it were one of those three, or pay-pal.
Well have a nice day.

YAWN.

Its nice, but really insignificant. The movies announcement is a bigger deal.

This is like going from the iPod mini, to the nano. Its nice engineering, but it really, to me, is not keynote worthy.
