MacBook Air: Review Laptop MacBook Air MB003LL/A
With the MacBook Air, Apple has created the world�s thinnest laptop-measuring an unprecedented 0.16-inches at its thinnest point (and 0.76 inches thick overall). Apple also introduces its vaunted multi-touch technology, found on the iPhone (Read: iPhone 4 16GB, iPhone 4 32GB, iPhone 5 New Concept ) , to its laptops with the MacBook Air, enabling you to pinch, swipe, or rotate to zoom in on text, advance through a photo album, or adjust an image via the oversized trackpad.

It includes a 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display, full-size and backlit keyboard, and a built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing.
