- Thinking about a MacBook? Join the MacBook email list.
Steve Jobs unveiled Apple's lightest and thinnest notebook computer ever, quite possibly the thinnest in the world as Apple claims. The 3.0 lb. MacBook Air is just 3/4" thick at the back end - and 1/6" thick on the latch side.

Apple made a lot of compromises to make the MBA as thin and light as possible: it uses an 80 GB 1.8" iPod hard drive, has no RAM sockets, doesn't include ethernet or FireWire ports, only has a single USB port, and uses integrated graphics. On the plus side, it has the same size screen and the same keyboard as the MacBook. That, of course, means a bigger footprint than the 12" PowerBook G4.
Everyone is discussing the MacBook Air, which is essentially designed as an adjunct to your main computer, not as a full-fledged desktop replacement like Apple's other notebook computers.
The best deals are marked in bold type in the full listings below. Canadian dealers are listed separately. Listings note RAM/drive size (and type, for solid state drive).
