It was clear from the moment the MacBook Air was unveiled at Macworld Expo that it was a Mac laptop unlike any we've seen recently, if ever. In exchange for dramatically lighter ... Read full entry

Vinyl solution for MacBook Air Within minutes of Apple CEO Steve Jobs sliding the new MacBook Air out of an interoffice envelope, Claire Evans and Jona Bechtolt were well into designing what was possibly the first third party accessory for the new ultra slim laptop computer. Sold through their new website, manilamac.com, the "AirMail" MacBook Air accessory is lined with fleece and costs $US29.95 ($34). Evans promises to ... Read full entry
