Here is a laptop that does not need any introduction. While there are already many people dissing the Apple MacBook Air because of all the hardware it lacks, I think it is a great alternative for those who would like something more powerful than a UMPC but does not what something too clunky like a traditional laptop.
Here are the specs:
- 0.4 -1.94 x 32.5 x 22.7 cm
- Weighs 3 pounds
- 1.6 GHz or 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
- 4MB on-chip shared L2 cache
- 800MHz frontside bus
- 2GB of 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
- 80GB 4200-rpm Parallel ATA hard disk
- 64GB solid-state drive
- 13.3-inch glossy widescreen TFT LED backlit display
- Micro-DVI adapter to DVI, VGA, Composite, or S-Video
- Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor with 144MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared memory
- Built-in iSight camera
- Solid-state trackpad with multi-touch gesture support
- Built-in full-size keyboard with backlit
- Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/draft-n
- Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
- 1x USB 2.0 port (up to 480 Mbps)
- 1x audio out port
- Built-in mono speaker
- Built-in omnidirectional microphone
- 5 hours wireless use per charge
I currently use a HP laptop with tons of hardware and features, but I have it hooked up to a large external hard drive and hardly ever use it for anything intense. Therefore the MacBook would be perfect for me. Enough memory to run the system and I just need a four-port USB extender (keyboard, mouse, hard drive, 1 extra open port). Too bad this thing cost between $1800.00 USD to $3500.00 USD, and of course I would have to get the SSD one.

The luxury feast extends to the very chassis itself. A unity of form and function, screen and keyboard are joined seamlessly at the polished plated hinge whose design is inspired by that of luxury cufflinks. Hand polished stainless steel frame and copper etch detailing exist in sublime harmony with premium leather, creating an interplay of warmth and cool high-tech aesthetic that mirrors the principle of perfection attained from visual and tactile balance. ”
