Into Thin Air – The New Macbook
Yet another year has come and gone. Babies are born, people die, and Steve Jobs makes another speech. Welcome to Macworld 2008, where Apple’s CEO slipped his blue jeans on (one leg at a time) and threw on black turtleneck to address thousands of enthusiasts, journalists, analysts, and bloggers.So, what did Santa Claus Steve Jobs bring us this year? Well, we found some updates to a series of products. The iPod Touch has some new web features, the iPhone now has Karaoke, and the Apple TV can deliver HD movies to your living room. Steve was also packing some heat.From left field came the Time Capsule, a wireless backup system that comes in 500GB and 1TB options. Pretty cool, if you’re into that sort of thing…The Hail Mary, Walk-off grand slam, hat-trick, WMD, what have you, was the MacBook Air, which comes packaged in it’s own manila envelope (recycled, of course)! The “world’s thinnest” machine measures only .16″ at one end and gains weight toward the other, tipping the scales at .75″ near the hinge. So what other goodies can fit into this minuscule box you ask?
