Steve Jobs Does It Again With MacBook Air

January 16, 2008 | Posted by Allison as Laptops at 9:21 am | Comments »

Well folks, it appears as if good ole Steve Jobs has left us breathless one more time.  Apple has just recently introduced the super-ultra-portable laptop, the MacBook Air.

Debuting at MacWorld 2008, the MacBook Air measures in at a slim .16″ to .76″ & weighs a mere 3 pounds, making this portable laptop not only able to fit into a manilla envelope with ease but also making this the world’s thinnest notebook. 

The MacBook Air features a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display with built-in iSight of course, a multi-touch trackpad, Intel Core 2 Duo processors which run at a whopping 1.6 GHz or 1.8 Ghz, black LED keyboard, ambient light sensor, micro-DVI port, magnetic latch closing, 1.8″ hard drive in the standard version or choose a 80 GB or the optional 64 GB solidstate drive, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth 2.1/EDR, 5 hour battery life, optional external SuperDrive and 2 GB memory!

Wowzers, that was a lot!   Preorders are being taken now on the Mac site, though good luck with that one as the website has been bombarded with requests.  Prices start at $1799.

Now if we could only get the Mac store employees to be a little less snooty, then maybe, just maybe, I could love Apple with my whole heart.

ASUS Bamboo Ecobook Notebook

Scheduled for an early 2008 release, the ASUS Bamboo Ecobook will be the first laptop ever made of bamboo.  Maybe a peanut butter laptop will be next?

Anyhoo, the “green” notebook is said to be as environmentally friendly as possible, made with at least a 50% recyclable rate, which isn’t too shabby.  While the internal components have yet to be finalized, the laptop will be made from biodegradable bamboo around the mouse pad & keyboard which gives the notebook a very sleek & sexy look.  I love it.
