Apple MacBook Air (1.6GHz)
Comments:
Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.
Review Verdict: The MacBook Air is not quite an ultraportable, but still very small. Mimicking the 13-inch silhouette of the current MacBook line, it's less than 20mm thick at its thickest part. Apple calls it the "world's thinnest notebook."

QuickTake:
Pros: Incredibly thin yet surprisingly sturdy, New trackpad gesture controls are very useful, Remote optical drive makes living without a built-in drive much easier
Cons: Very limited connectivity, Slower than other MacBooks, SSD hard-drive option is ridiculously expensive and standard hard drive is small, Battery is not user replaceable.
