Macbook Air is up on the Apple Website

by

It’s been.. 3 minutes since the keynote has ended and the Macbook Air is already on the Apple Site

10:09: Macbook Air. “The World’s Thinnest Notebook”

10:10: Comparing to Sony TZ notebooks, 3 lbs — too much compromise with other features.

10:12: Macbook Air is 0.16″ to 0.76″ thick. It fits inside an envelope.

10:12: Magnetic Latch, 13.3″ widescreen

10:13: LED backlit, iSight, Macbook-like keyboard but with light sensor, multi-touch trackpad

thanks to Gizmodo for the pic

10:15: Showing off trackpad, moving windows, rotating windows, etc.

10:16: 1.8″ hard drive, 80 GB hard drive standard, 64 GB SSD as an option.

10:17: 1.6 GHz standard, 1.8 GHz option — kinda slow, isn’t it?

10:20: 45 Watt MagSafe, 1 USB 2.0 Port, Micro-DVI, Audio Out

10:21: 802.11n + Bluetooth 2.1

10:22: New feature called Remote Disc for installing things via CDs and DVDs, Macbook Air has no optical drive, Superdrive accessory for $99.

10:23: 5 hours of battery life

10:24: 2GB RAM standard

10:25: $1799, ships in two weeks, preorder today

10:27: Environmentally friendly, recyclable case, mercury and lead free display, BFR free circuit boards, etc.

A quick check shows that the Macbook Air 1.8 GHz with 64GB SSD drive on the Apple Store is $3098. Ouchies. That’s pretty much specced out, besides the addition of a Superdrive (USB plug-in) for $99, and Ethernet Adapter for $49.

An overview of the Air will be written this afternoon. Check in later for it and more overviews on the new iPhone/iPod Touch features, Apple TV features, and iTunes Movie Rentals.
