Apple unveiled its ultraportable MacBook Air, the world's thinnest notebook according to CEO Steve Jobs, during his keynote speech at Macworld 2008 on Tuesday in San Francisco.
Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.
Steve Jobs unveils an ultrathin notebook and take two for the Apple TV, amid an array of iPhone, iPod, and iTunes updates.
Is the lack of an optical drive in the MacBook Air a smart or stupid move from Apple?
The Dell Latitude E is a glimpse into the future of laptops. With high expandability, configurable and a strong design, it should suit most corporate environments.
Asus' M51Va passes muster as one of the better laptops out there, and the Centrino 2 certification means you'll be up to date with the latest spec. If you're in the market for a mid-weight laptop, make sure to give this one a try.
The Dell Studio 1535 is a good mid-range laptop that fills the gap between premium and mainstream, and offers good quality for the price.
The Eee PC 1000 is a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between netbook and ultraportable, but it's well equipped, well designed and great for those who need a laptop on the move.
BenQ's Joybook R45 is a good laptop at a great price — and will be even better once you get an extra gigabyte of RAM in there.

Like everything else apple....TOO expensive. Given the exchange rate, one can only assume that we Australians are being ripped off, when compared to prices in the US.

Actually BobR, the Macbook Air is an ommission. When you compare prices of higher end systems that are customised, they tend to be cheaper than customised systems from Dell and co. For example, my Macpro with the same basic specs is $1300 cheaper than a Dell system. The Macbook Air on the otherhand is overpriced, costing as much as a MBP yet having the performance of an iPod on steroids.
