An extremely-thin laptop with comfortable black keyboard and wireless connectivity. Yes, this is an amazing and revolutionary laptop. Apple MacBook Air is the new Apple invention that has amazed most people in this world. Apple calls it the thinnest laptop on the planet.

With thickness up to 0.16" , MacBook Air breaks another "laptop limit". If you think a laptop with 1" thickness is a superb invention, you will be astonished when you see this laptop with your own eyes. The LED backlit keyboard is another plus point for Apple MacBook Air. Nonetheless, skeptic people criticized this laptop a lot. They think MacBook Air's battery won't last as long as the other mobile laptops. The specification is also not impressive at all although you can get it for around $1,700.

Whatever people say about it, Apple MacBook Air is rated as one of the most impressive things in January 2008. If you are searching for a new laptop and you are a kind of "design worshipper", probably you will be tempted to buy MacBook Air. Some people even made a joke about Al Gore and this laptop. They said Al Gore (who travels a lot to different countries recently) will buy Apple MacBook Air to replace his old laptop.

Competition and claims

Only several days after Apple exploded the market with its MacBook Air, Toshiba launched two ultra-thin laptops, Portege R500-11J and R500-11I. Both of these laptops are extremely thin, Toshiba even said that R500-11J and R500-11I are thinner than Macbook Air itself. According to Toshiba, R500-11J and R500-11I's thickness are only 0.75-0.76". With this claim from Toshiba, Apple realizes they can't run freely in the race. Who knows in the near future Dell, HP, and Acer will release similar products?

Remains Doubtful

About MacBook Air itself, who can guarantee this notebook will be the most popular in early 2008? Apple has sacrificed lots of positive things to fulfill their ambition. To create the thinnest notebook on earth, Apple "forgets" the removable battery. If you depend a lot on your laptop battery life, obviously Apple MacBook Air is not the right product for you. For people who often go abroad, I don't recommend MacBook Air. Well, everything is up to your lifestyle though.
