The MacBook Air is out - slimmest laptop ever
The much talked about Apple MacBook Air was unveiled by Apple CEO Steve Jobs. It boasts of many advanced features including extended backup times.
The most boasted off feature about the MacBook is its thickness/thinness. The MacBook Air is only .16 inch at the smallest and .76 inch at the largest. that is only 1.94 cm. The size comes to almost 12.8 x 8.94 inches and is light at only 3.0 pounds.
The hardware too is somewhat impressive with an Intel core 2 duo processor at 1.6 or 1.8Ghz clock and 4Mb L2 cache and an FSB of 800Mhz. The memory is a 2Gb 667Mhz DDR2.You can get more clock cycles for a little more coming out of your pocket.
Another major advantage is that you can replace the default 80Gb HDD with a fullySolid State Drive of 64Gb to make it virtually shake resistant. An expected 5 hours of backup means you can travel lots with this beauty. Wireless connectivity comes with IEE 802.11n and BlueTooth. The 13.3 inch TFT screen’s resolution is a maximum of 1280 by 800 pixels. Also you have got DVI, VGA, S-Video and Composite video output.
The screen is lit by an LED back light. Keyboard also has got its own back light, and both will adjust the brightness automatically according to ambient light.

Update 1 : The Sharp Actius MM10 laptop is said to be thinner than MacBook Air. The Sharp Actius MM10 is only 0.54 inches thick. But sadly it is older than the MacBook by ages and obviously no one can boast off its features
