Apple, Inc. is gearing up for one hell of a year. First, we told you about their joint venture with Jay-Z (which at press time was still not confirmed by either party). And now we bring you pics of the world's thinnest notebook computer, courtesy of... yup, you guessed it- Apple!

During his Macworld Expo keynote address on this morning, Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the MacBook Air, a computer small enough to fit inside an interoffice mailing envelope. It's priced starting at $1,799 and will be available within two weeks.

Sporting a silvery finish, the MacBook Air features a 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display that has a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. The backlighting saves power and provides "instant on" response from the moment you turn it on, according to Jobs. The device has a slightly wedge-shaped profile. It weighs about 3 pounds, and sports a thickness of 0.16-0.76 inches. It's 12.8 inches wide and 8.95 inches deep.


The MacBook Air also features a built-in iSight webcam and a full sized MacBook - style black keyboard. The keyboard is backlit, similar to the MacBook Pro, and has an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness. The trackpad is also capable of recognizing multi-touch gestures, similar to using an iPhone or iPod touch. As a result, the MacBook Air's trackpad is disproportionately large, compared to the size of trackpads found on the MacBook or MacBook Pro.

And if you think that's hot, check out the commercial:

I LOVE APPLE!
