MacBook Air is ultrathin, ultraportable, and ultra unlike anything else. But you don’t lose inches and pounds overnight. It’s the result of rethinking conventions. Of multiple wireless innovations. And of breakthrough design. With MacBook Air, mobile computing suddenly has a new standard.

• 13.3-inch Glossy widescreen LED display. Maximum resolution of 1280 x 800, which gives you vibrant images and rich colors at full brightness.
• Full-size keyboard. It goes further by adding backlit key illumination, making it easy to work in low-light areas.
• Large multi-touch trackpad. Multi-touch gesture support.
• Ultrathin and Ultralightweight. Weighs just 3 lbs.

• No Built-in DVD+-RW-ROM or even a CD-ROM
