The New Macbook Air: Unbelievable…
Tuesday, January 15th, 2008Apple did it again. During Steve Jobs’ keynote speech this morning, he announced the thinnest laptop in the world… the Macbook Air. According to Gizmodo, the specs are:
Here’s the CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo Inside, 1.6 GHz standard, with a 1.8GHz upgrade available. Apple asked Intel to shrink their Core 2 Duo processors down to a package 60% smaller in order to fit it inside the MacBook Air.
Here’s what’s inside. 1.8-inch hard drives, like in the iPods. There’s also an optional 64GB solid state disk. What else is in there? A complete Mac board, which is a little wider than the length of a pencil.
You can turn on different types of gestures in the settings, like moving around a window with your finger, panning around a photo with two fingers, rotate a photo by twisting a finger, swipe between photos with three figners, and zoom in and out with pinching.
The Macbook Air… genius!
