Today at the annual Steve Jobs Keynote to MacWorld he released 4 different things. The main of which being the all new MacBook Air. This is by quite a bit the thinnest laptop i the world at only .76" thick at its thickest point. It is available for preorder now with units shipping in 2 weeks. This is more of a for show computer rather than a powerful one. Although it ha 2GB of RAM and an option for a 64GB Solid State drive, the measly 1.8Ghz processor may feel a little slow to many people. The SSD option is also an extra $1,000 although should perform much better than the 4,200 RMP 80GB Hard Drive that comes standard. In other news he also released a NAS Storage Device to be used with Leopard’s new Time Machine Backup feature. It comes in either 500GB or 1TB Sizes. Also released was the long awaited Itunes Movie Rentals and along with that a redesigned User Interface for the Apple TV as well as a price drop. The Movie Rentals work the same as most in that you have 30 days to start watching the movie after it was purchased and after you have started the movie you have 24 hours to finish it and watch it again. Also released was the Ipod Touch/ Iphone firmware upgrade bringing many different and new features to both devices. (For a full list hit up Engadget.com)
