Mumbai, Feb 13: Information Technology major Apple launched the world`s thinnest notebook Macbook Air for the travelling executives. "We have built the world`s thinnest notebook without sacrificing a full-size keyboard or a 13-inch display," Apple Product Marketing Manager, Portables and Wireless, Asia Pacific, Angeline Tan told reporters here on Tuesday. Macbook Air measures 0.16 inches at its thinnest point, while its maximum height of 0.76 inches is less than the thinnest point on "competing notebooks". It has a 13.3-inch led-backlit widescreen display, a fullsize and backlit keyboard, a built-in isight video camera for video conferencing, and a trackpad with multi-touch gesture support. "Macbook Air is powered by a 1.6 ghz Intel core 2 duo processor with 4mb l2 cache, and includes 2gb of memory, 80gb 1.8-inch hard drive and the latest 802.11n wi-fi technology with five hour battery life and bluetooth," Tan said. The users of this notebook model can buy the companion Macbook Air Superdrive, an external drive designed for it. "Powered by a USB port, the external drive eliminates nee to carry a separate power adapter. There is no need for an optical drive now that the users can wirelessly backup files with time capsule and access the optical drives on remote PCS to wirelessly install software applications on Macbook Air," she said.
