Apple MacBook Air (1.6GHz Core 2 Duo) review
Comments:
It's light, it's slim. But is it sexy enough for us to ignore the stripped-down feature set and high price tag?

Apple MacBook Air
Comments:
Gorgeous, expensive and exasperating in equal measure, and yet still desirable despite its myriad faults
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

As was heavily predicted before its unveiling, Apple's new laptop, called the MacBook Air, is not quite an ultraportable but is still very small. Mimicking the 13-inch silhouette of the current MacBook line, it's .76-inch thick at its thickest part. Apple

Review Verdict: The design is revolutionary, but Apple's MacBook Air will appeal to a smaller, more specialized audience than the standard MacBook, thanks to a stripped-down set of connections and features.

Apple MacBook Air Ultraportable Laptop
Comments:
The Air's looks can't be denied, but its performance and expandability are whole other matters.
Review Verdict: Ultimately, though, the air is a victory of industrial design and single-minded purpose. It has decent performance for an ultraportable, but few standout features to speak of beyond the superficial. And yet, I still can't help wanting to stop an...

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."
