Incredibly thin yet surprisingly sturdy New touchpad gesture controls are very useful Remote optical drive makes living without a built-in drive much easier
Review Verdict: The design is revolutionary, but Apple's MacBook Air will appeal to a smaller, more specialised audience than the standard MacBook, thanks to a stripped-down set of connections and features.

Review Verdict: But the MacBook Air is a simply stunning example of fine design, and its vital statistics speak for themselves. Flat on a desk, the Air stands barely 19mm high at its tallest point, and on the scales, it weighs in at a featherweight 1.38kg
