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: We're ultralight lovers here and we love the MacBook Air. While it makes compromises as all subnotebooks do, 3 key elements are uncompromised: display size, keyboard and processing power. The Air is thinner than numbers can express, so goreous it belongs
