0.16-0.76 inch (0.4-1.94 cm)
Width:
12.8 inches (32.5 cm)
Depth:
8.94 inches (22.7 cm)
Weight:
3.0 pounds (1.36 kg)
The laptop runs on a 1.6 or 1.8 intel core 2 duo prosessor with 4mb l2 cache and 800MHz front-side bus. It comes standard with 2gb DDR2 ram at 667Mhz. The macbook air also uses a Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor with 144MB of DDR2 SDRAM.
The display is a 13.3 in LED backlight running at 1280 by 800 natively. There is a built-in isight.
Storage options include a 80gb 1.8in drive standard or a 64gb SSD for better performance.
The keyboard is standard for a laptop and it now has backlight with an ambiance light sensor. The is a large trackpad featuring improved multitouch inputs and gestures.
There is no optical drive in the computer, so apple uses a remote drive option to install software or make backups. There is also a separate superdrive available for $99.
The macbook air relies heavily on wirelss technology, so it has a wireless N and bluetooth 2.01.
The battery is rated for 5 hours with wifi and bluetooth on.
Also today, apple revealed update iPhone and ipod touch software, video rentals, and a improved apple TV with a lower cost. Most major studios have signed on for the video rentals and videos will be available in standard and HD. All music and video is available to buy or rent directly on the apple TV. Rentals must be played within 30 days since the date of rental, and they must be finished 24 hours after they are started. The ipod touch got numerous new apps from the iphone, and while this will come standard on new ipods, it will cost $20 to upgrade an old one (its an accounting thing). Apple also unleashed Time Capsule, a wireless back up device for all computers on a network. It will come in 500gb and 1Tb flavors.
