MacBook Air debuts, the "world's thinnest notebook" at 0.76 inches (1.93 cm) thick at its thickest point and 0.16 inches (0.4 cm) at its thinnest. Unbelievably thin! it’s easy to carry. I have been waiting for a new lightweight notebook model from Apple, I have PowerBook G4 15” model, but I wouldn’t bring out because of its weight. The Air’s weight is only 1.36 kg (3.0 lbs.). It’s easy to bring out. Just from thickness point of view, Toshiba Portage R500 has also similar thickness for example, the R500 however doesn’t have a unique design like the MacBook Air. The Air doesn’t have Firewire / LAN connections, and Superdrive. I just suppose that the Air has 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, and also Apple will release Time Capsule which is a network storage with wireless network base station, this is why, the Air’s design concept is wireless. The Air standard model is priced at JPY 229,800 (USD 2,160) with Intel Core2 Duo 1.6GHz, 2GB memories, 80GB HDD (4,200 rpm). The price is not so high, I’m being puzzled if I buy it or not.
