Thin MacBook Air is Finally Here

"We've built the world's thinnest notebook - without sacrificing a full-size keyboard or a full-size 13-inch display," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "When you first see MacBook Air, it's hard to believe it's a high-performance notebook with a full-size keyboard and display. But it is."

The notebook integrates a 13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, and, according to its technical specifications, comes with a 65-nanometer Core 2 Duo processor featuring 4 MB of L2 cache, an 80 GB 1.8" hard drive as well as 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity. What the Apple guys "forgot" to mention is that the Air appears to be powered by a new breed of processors, the low-voltage Merom-based Core 2 Duo, and not an Ultra Low Voltage Merom like the vast majority of notebook vendors use.
