Air, the new ultra portable Macbook
Apple just announced the new ultra portable Macbook Air at the MacWorld Expo! I am totally getting on of these bad boys. Here’s the specs:
- Full size keyboard
- 13.3″ display
- 80 GB 1.8″ HDD, or a 64 GB SDD (super fast)
- Thinnest part is .16″ and, the thickest is .76″!
- Built in iSight for video
- Multi-touch gesturing for improved touchpad navigation
- Starts at $1,799
- Ships in 2-3 weeks

Don’t forget the missing optical drive is compensated for by their wireless drive sharing software!

So, that’s how they plan to deal with it. Do I have to have Leopard on my desktop for that feature to work?

I don’t /think/ so. I was reading Wired’s live blog update and the impression I got is that this software would be available to install on mac and pc platforms to set up the drive sharing.. and since the Macbook Air must come with Leopard I wouldn’t imagine you could be locked out from using it.
It will be interesting to see how well it works in practice though.
