The envelope had been lying there on the minimalist desk all throughout Jobs' keynote. The rumours had been clear: Apple is going to launch a subnotebook, a sort of MacBook Mini. Despite the rumours, the collective gasp of amazement was clearly audible when Jobs pulled the MacBook Air out of the envelope. I have to admit, even I was all wowed. Consequently, you can imagine I was delighted when Apple NL agreed to loan me a review unit as soon as they had the MacBook Air in stock. Read on for the review.

I just wanted to make a comment based on the thickness of the MacBook Air. I think the shape of it is genius, because it tricks the eye into seeing it as thinner than it actually is. The slight scallop toward the edges shows you the absolute thinnest part of the laptop at all times when viewing it from the side. While this laptop is extremely thin, it isn't quite as thin as it appears to be at a glance.
It's a great design illusion and I hope it's adopted by more laptops in this category.
