MacBook Air still skinny on power


NEW YORK: The first MacBook Air laptop hit the catwalk in 2008 as an elegant but somewhat impractical statement about how far Apple would go to make the thinnest laptop ever. It wasn’t very powerful, had a short battery life and started with a nosebleed price tag of US$1,800 (RM6,000 today).

Apple has revamped the Air and introduced two models. Suddenly, the Air is one of the cheapest ways to get into the Mac line, starting at US$999 (RM3,200), the same price as the entry-level, plastic MacBook.
