MacBook Air spurring LED use in screens: DisplaySearch
The MacBook Air has become the best advertisement for why companies should use LED (light-emitting diode) backlights in notebook screens, and is driving adoption, according to market researcher DisplaySearch. ...continue reading 'MacBook Air spurring LED use in screens: DisplaySearch'

MacBook Air add-ons hit Apple stores
With the ultra-thin MacBook Air reaching stores soon, Apple is selling accessories that make up for the laptop's skimpy features. Apple is already taking orders for a slim external optical drive and an Ethernet adapter, both designed for the MacBook Air, that plug into the laptop's only USB (Universal Serial Bus) port. The accessories are designed to match Air's slim footprint, Apple said. Belkin and WaterField Designs are also cashing in, announcing notebook bags designed for the unconventional MacBook Air. ...continue reading 'MacBook Air add-ons hit Apple stores'

Inside the MacBook Air: The solid-state drive option
Jon L. Jacobi, Macworld.com
When it comes to storage, the newly unveiled MacBook Air offers an 80GB, 4,200-rpm Parallel ATA hard drive as part of its standard configuration. However, that's not the only option -- would-be MacBook Air buyers can also order the laptop with a 64GB solid-state drive (SSD). ...continue reading 'Inside the MacBook Air: The solid-state drive option'

MacBook Air -- the day after

Apple's MacBook Air ultra-thin could spawn improved PC
By Joel Shore, ITworld
The envelope, please. No, it's not just an awards-show phrase, it's precisely how Steve Jobs unveiled Apple's latest masterwork, the ultrathin MacBook Air computer at Macworld earlier this week. Just 0.16 inches at its thinnest point, Jobs pulled the computer from a standard-size manila interoffice envelope. I'm no Mac maven, but like the crowd packed into the Macworld keynote address, I'm duly impressed. ...continue reading 'Apple's MacBook Air ultra-thin could spawn improved PC'
Apple's MacBook Air: evolution, not revolution
Scott Bradner, Network World
There was a, for Apple, reasonable level of hype leading up to Steve Jobs' keynote at Macworld 2008. Not like last year when everyone knew that the iPhone was coming (even if they did not know what an iPhone was). Most of the buzz this time was about a possible 'ultra portable. Finally, an hour into the talk, Steve introduced the MacBook Air - the 'world's thinnest notebook.' It's not my dream machine but it's very nice - more of an incremental improvement than something that creates a whole new mold-breaking concept. '...continue reading 'Apple's MacBook Air: evolution, not revolution'
MacBook Air: How incomplete is it?
Harry McCracken, PC World
Steve Jobs is, among many other things, the great denier. But I'm not sure if he's ever denied Apple customers as many features as he will with the MacBook Air. In introducing the Air, Jobs said that manufacturers of other thin-and-light laptops made too many compromises to make their machines sleek, like using small keyboards and screens and wimpy CPUs. But nobody else in the industry would dream of making some of the compromises that the Air makes. ...continue reading 'MacBook Air: How incomplete is it?'
Ultraportable challengers to the MacBook Air
PC World Staff
The MacBook Air is Apple's first foray into a crowded ultraportable market that has seen its share of very light, very capable products from companies including Sony, Lenovo, and Fujitsu, among others. Here's a fast look at how they stack up. ...continue reading 'Ultraportable challengers to the MacBook Air'
Big '08 for Apple with MacBook Air, iTunes
Jim Dalrymple, Macworld.com
After announcing the availability of movie rentals through iTunes, Jobs ended his 101-minute Macworld keynote by taking the wraps off the MacBook Air. It would be hard to gauge from the cheers during the keynote which of the two new announcement made the bigger impression. As for which product will be bigger for Apple in the weeks and months following the keynote, that all depends on who you ask. ...continue reading 'Big '08 for Apple with MacBook Air, iTunes'

MACWORLD: Apple introduces MacBook Air
During his Macworld Expo keynote address on Tuesday morning, Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the MacBook Air Tuesday, a computer that the company billed as the world's thinnest notebook -- small enough to fit inside an interoffice mailing envelope. It's priced starting at $1,799. ...continue reading 'MACWORLD: Apple introduces MacBook Air'
