In this month's issue, we have a special preview of CeBIT which will kick off in early March this year. As we went into print, Apple announced the MacBook Air. The MacBook Air measures an unprecedented 0.16-inches at its thinnest point, while its maximum height of 0.76-inches is less than the thinnest point on competing notebooks. MacBook Air has a stunning 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display, a full-size and backlit keyboard, a built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing, and a spacious trackpad with multi-touch gesture support so users can pinch, rotate and swipe.
For the latest in solid state drive development, check out Chris Hall's report in the Computer Section of this issue. It is one of the reasons why laptops will become more compact this year.
