AnandTech dove into the mystery behind the small processor in the MacBook Air. "Earlier this week Apple announced its MacBook Air, and within hours we had the mystery of its '60% smaller' CPU uncovered. Or at least we thought. It turns out there's even more depth to the CPU in the MacBook Air, it's even less conventional than we originally thought. Here's what happened over the past couple of days."

This grinds my gears a bit. Taking features out of a laptop to fit it into a thin case isn't much of an innovation.
Do you really think other manufacturers lack the technology to build such a thin laptop? That Apple is the exclusive purveyor of the space-age technology required to remove the optical drive and use an mp3 player hard drive?
The MacBook Air is .76 inches thick. The Intel Metro concept was .7 inches thick last year. The Sony X505 was .75 inches thick in 2004.
If the thin laptop is a "massive innovation", give credit where it is due: a Sony laptop 4 years ago.
