OMG OMG!
apple is really calling the new lappy MACBOOK AIR. this rumor has been flying around for ages and some ppl actually dismissed the name, saying its so un-apple. take that!

"The World's Thinnest Notebook"

check this out (where i died and flew to heaven):

• MacBook Air is 0.16" to 0.76". The thickest part of the MacBook Air is thinner than the thinnest part of the Sony TZ. It fits inside a envelope.
• Magnetic latch, 13.3" widescreen display
• display is LED backlit. iSight is built-in. MacBook-like keyboard, but with an ambient light sensor
• Multi-touch trackpad
• 1.8" Hard Drive
• 80 GB hard disk standard, 64 GB SSD as an option. "they're pricy, but they're fast"
• 1.6 GHz Standard, 1.8 GHz Option -- Intel Core 2 Duo ( Intel shrunk the processor by 60%)
• Other features: 45 Watt MagSafe, 1 USB 2.0 port, Micro-DVI, Audio Out (1 usb port is too little...but well..considering its size)
  
• 802.11n + Bluetooth 2.1/EDR
• No optical drive, but a Superdrive accessory is available for $99. Also, software comes with the MacBook Air that allows you to "borrow" a Mac or PCs optical drive.
• 5 hours of Battery Life
• 2 GB Memory standard
• US$1799--> a lil ex there. more ex than a macbook i think.
