Macworld 2008: Macbook Air First Look

I'm Live from Macworld at the Moscone Center in San Francisco -- here's a look at the MacBook Air. I've got one on order and will bring you more once it ships (2-3 weeks).

Steve Jobs used his Macworld keynote to unveil the newest member of the Macbook family. The $1799 Macbook Air is 0.79” at the thickest part, comes with an 80GB hard drive standard and has an optional solid state drive (64GB). The new subnotebook doesn’t have a built-in optical drive, but does include software to allow users to borrow a Mac or PC optical drive, and a $99 optional external SuperDrive. Pre-orders are being taken now and the MacBook Air will ship in two weeks.

Bummed you didn't make it to MacWorld to hear Steve Jobs announce Apple's new iPhone?

Sad you missed a week in Vegas drooling over the latest in consumer electronics?
