Aluminum air

Thinnovation they say on the Apple page…. Offset hinge….

The new Mac Air is without a doubt a cool machine. Superb design. Eye-catching. I didn’t even notice the built-in iSight camera, but then we weren’t at the store and in its august presence very long…. And I certainly didn’t dig beneath the surface to find the 37-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery*….

I see the Mac Air as a rather overgrown PDA, good for the high-end business-types. I suspect I’d need to lug around a separate hard drive for all my photos and miscellany, though.

And what the heck is a lithium-polymer battery anyway? Sounds like a gizmo from Star Trek!
