MacBook AirNew Ultra Thin Apple Laptop
During the latest Macworld, Apple unveiled its newest product - an ultra thin notebook computer. The MacBook Air is only 3/4 inch at its thickest, and sports some new features.

A new multi-touch trackpad allows two-finger scrolling, pinch, rotate, swipe, tap, double-tap, and drag capabilities. To get the thin size, a newer processor, battery, and hard drive are incorporated. But, the screen size comes in at only 13.3 inches. Apple is also touting its environmentally conscience with a mercury- and arsenic-free display.
Prices start at $1799.
