Apple unveiled the world’s thinnest notebook yesterday at the Macworld 2008. Dubbed as Macbook Air (MBA), it is just about 2cm thick and weighing 3 pounds. I don’t know why the name “Air” because it ain’t that light but despite the thin design, Apple has not compromised on the performance. MBA is a 13.3″ wonder which comes with stock configuration of 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB RAM, 80GB HDD, Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor, iSight, micro-DVI, 802.11n, USB 2.0 and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR.
The standard MBA (mentioned above) is priced at $1799. There’s also an upgradation available in terms of processor (1.8GHz Core 2 Duo) and storage (64GB SSD) but this will cost you a bomb ($3098). And lastly, because of the slim design, Apple has chucked out the built-in optical drive but are selling external USB optical drive at $99.
Couple of images after the break.
