Apple unveiled its ultraportable MacBook Air, the world's thinnest notebook according to CEO Steve Jobs, during his keynote speech at Macworld 2008 on Tuesday in San Francisco.
Apple has reduced the cost of an SSD-based MacBook Air by around AU$700.

In a sign that the convergence trend is even reaching technology's stalwarts, Dell has hinted its customers could force it to release a laptop with an eight-inch screen.

If you weren't a fan of the previous MacBook Air, nothing will change your mind here. We can only hope the next revision is a little more feature-laden.
Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro has a raft of new features, however, there's now less incentive to spend extra on a Pro because its 13-inch mainstream cousin received a greater overhaul.
Previously known as the MacBook, Apple's basic 13-inch aluminium unibody laptop has been promoted to the "Pro" series, all while adding features and cutting the base price.
Apple's redesigned 13in. MacBook is essentially a shrunken version of the more expensive 15in. Pro line. With its new aluminium body, new touchpad and Nvidia graphics, it's an even more attractive choice for mainstream notebook buyers than was the plastic model it replaces.
