The New Inspirer

Apple has done it again. It created just another device which you would seriously consider owning, built numerous technological enhancements to inspire the rest of the hardware industry. Steve Jobs today announced “the world’s thinnest notebook” the Macbook Air.  Apart from it being really thin (it fits an envelop) it no longer uses a cd-rom drive (but can be “borrowed”  from another computer), leverages iPod touch technology to the track pad (different ways to use the track pad to navigate through pages and applications) and is beautiful -of course-.  Have a look at the specs over at Apple. Thumbs up >:)
