Apple MacBook Air

Apple has a way of creating an aura about their products. And no one can deny

the precise attention to detail in the design. The Air is just 0.16 inches thin

at the edges and increases to 0.76 inches at the centre. Numbers just don't do

it justice; it has to be seen to be believed! It still houses a 13.3-inch LED

backlit LCD, full-size backlit keyboard, a gigantic multi-touch touchpad and

webcam + mic. The multitouch touchpad can be used to zoom in or out of images,

rotate them or flip pages using a three-finger gesture It has the latest OSX

Leopard, a C2D processor (1.6 GHz), 2 GB DDR2 RAM and a 1.8-inch 80 GB hard

drive. Every time you use it, you'll catch admiring glances coming your way. But

you'll also be reminded of the omissions. We used BootCamp and loaded Windows XP

for our benchmarks. It managed 244 3D marks and the battery managed a runtime of

2 hours 45 minutes with the brightness set to max. The MacBook Air can be one of

the hottest gadgets of the decade. But the omissions like optical drive, USB

ports, and Ethernet have ensured that it's a machine only for a select few;

die-hard Apple aficionados and those who just love to show off.
