Apple launches new MacBook Air

21/10/2010
Technology giant Apple has announced the launch of its latest device, the new MacBook Air.

According to the firm, the launch signifies the reinvention of the traditional notebook.

Apple said its new computer is the first in range that will 'replace mechanical hard disks and optical drives with internet services and solid state flash storage'.

The firm said the new range will be faster, more reliable, lighter and smaller than its rivals.

Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive officer, said: 'MacBook Air is the first of a new generation of notebooks that leaves behind mechanical rotating storage in favour of solid state flash storage.

'We've taken what we have learned with the iPad - solid state storage, instant-on, amazing battery standby time, miniaturisation and lightweight construction - to create the new MacBook Air. With its amazing responsiveness and mobility, it will change the way we think about notebooks.'

With a starting price of $999 (£633) the new notebook will available in 11-inch and 13-inch models and will weigh as little as 2.3 pounds (1.04kg).
