2008 MacBook Air


In 2008 the MacBook Air made history as the thinnest laptop to date. The laptop is only .76 inches in height and has a 13.3 inch glossy screen that displays at 1280x800 resolution.

The MacBook Air comes with a 1.8Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, an 80gb solid-state hard drive, and 2gb of memory. Its trackpad supports multi-touch gestures like those of the MacBook Pro or iPhone.

Unfortunately, the $1799 laptop does not please everyone. It tends to heat up, causing core shutdown. In addition, the extremely thin dimensions of the laptop make the screen hinges and other critical parts much more fragile than one would desire. Another major downside to the MacBook Air is that it lacks an internal CD or DVD drive.
