At the MacWorld expo this morning, Steve Jobs unveiled what Apple proports to be the world's thinnest notebook computer. How thin? Try 3/4" at it's thickest, and only 3 lbs. In Apple's new TV spots, the copmuter is being shown taken out of a manilla envelope. NOTE: interofficing your new MacBook Air via manilla envelope is not considered a legitimate "file transfer protocol." Also, the dudes in the mailroom will break it. To spite you. They are not your friends, no matter how much money you "lend" them.

Apple will be making two versions availible:

3 Inch: 1.6GHz

• Intel Core 2 Duo processor
• 2GB memory
• 80GB 4200-rpm PATA hard drive
• Built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi2 and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR

13 Inch: 1.8GHz

• Intel Core 2 Duo processor
• 2GB memory
• 64GB solid-state hard drive
• Built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi2 and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR

Of course, at 3/4" thick, no optical drive could fit in the MacBook Air's housing; to compensate, Apple has designed the MacBook Air to be "the notebook that allows for a fully wireless lifestyle," meaning: 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR built in, Apple’s new Time Capsule wireless backup software and, most compelling (i.e., terrifyingly rad) a new feature called "Remote Disc," a utility that allows you to wirelessly use or "borrow" the optical drive of a Mac or PC within wireless range. Go ahead, burn all seven Police Academy movies using your roommie's DVDr drive. . . the Fed's won't know the difference.

So there you go: the Apple MacBook Air is officially the greatest thing since sliced bread.*

*NOTE: You can use the MacBook Air to SLICE BREAD.
