MacBook Air is fully made of aluminum and is ultrathin, ultraportable, ultrawhatever :D It has no optical drive and it’s fully wireless supported. It also has 13inch big glossy display illuminated by led :) Feature of full sized keyboard is that it illuminates when built-in ambient light sensor detects low light. Another great feature of Air is “touchpad on steroids” :D It’s called Trackpad, and it supports multi touch gesture-based input so successful on iPhone and iPod touch. You can pinch, swipe, or rotate to zoom in on text, advance through a photo album, or adjust an image. As I said there is no optical drive, but it supports “superfast” 811.11n wireless connectivity which is by my personal opinion just excuse for selling more movies at iTunes store and losing some milimeters :P It has one fatal flaw, you can’t just crack it open to replace the hard drive, memory or even battery… Dooh!! Europeian price is still unknown but according to american price $1799 it will be around 1220€ (probably 1799€ if $:€ ratio will be 1:1 like at other Apples products in Slovenia)

Some links for more info.

    Yes, it is cool as hell, but the advantage of reading and burning dvd’s is still important for me. So for now I think I would probably be still buying MacBook even for the same price.

    Sometimes you just have to burn it…
