Apple have announced the ultra-think MacBook Air, which is apparently the worlds thinnest laptop at only 1.93cm thick. The laptop is expected to cost around £1200 and doesn't feature a CD or DVD drive to save space.
"It does not have a CD or DVD drive in order to save space. "It was built to be a wireless machine," he added. The laptop will compete with a range of portable devices, from companies such as Sony, Dell and Asus, which are already building so-called sub-notebooks, designed to be lighter and more mobile.
The machine goes on sale in two weeks and costs from $1,799 in the US (£1,199 in the UK) and comes with either an 80 Gigabyte hard disc drive as standard or 64 Gigabyte solid state drive for an added $999. Apple worked with chip maker Intel to produce a smaller version of its Core2Duo processor for the laptop."
