It’s latest addition to it’s family is the Apple’s MacBook Air which sports one of the most ground-breaking designs we’ve ever seen. But it’s not alone in the department of sleek and shinny. Even though it shares a desktop trail with the typical black and white MacBooks, the first thing you see about the Air is its aluminum framework which is analogous to the one found on the MacBook Pro.

Loaded with a 2.26 Gz processor with Intel’s Core 2 Duo P800 processor and 4GB’s of ram it it fast, though not as fast as people would expect it to be with that processing power contained within. External devices can be easily connected with a FireWire, HDMI, and d-Sub connector for those cameras and external display devices.
