“An alleged insider at a third-party vendor is said by Wired to have fresh details on the rumored ‘MacBook Air’ sub-notebook just hours before its unveiling at Macworld San Francisco,” Aidan Malley reports for AppleInsider.
“In its description, the magazine’s Gadget Lab blog describes the lightweight notebook as teardrop-shaped when shut, thickening towards the hinge of the system but thinning near the edges — and remaining ‘unbelievably’ thin overall, according to the source,” Malley reports.
“The system, according to the source, shares the same aluminum and glass construction of the iMac with black accents on a silver frame,” Malley reports.

“Something in the Air = B E A T L E S”
That would be something in the way she moves.
“Either someone at M$ has some bizarre humor or they are just stupid.”
Give credit where it’s due. Ballmer coined the term squirt in a BusinessWeek interview.
Does Zune fit into the hardware piece of this?
“Sure it does. Because the value of Zune, if we’re successful, is all in the software. It’s in community [the ability to share music and pictures with other Zune users]. I want to squirt you a picture of my kids. You want to squirt me back a video of your vacation. That’s a software experience. The truth is, though, if it makes money, it will be built into the gross margin on the hardware. We’ll figure out how to make money on the community perhaps later though advertising or other means.”

Seems like ditching ethernet might be a bit extreme. What if you need to access the internet but your wireless isn’t working for some reason? What if you need to access the internet to fix the wireless (look up how, etc.)?
This is a fake!
Why?
Because the desktop is Mac OS X Tiger NOT Leopard.
If this was genuine the desktop would be the very latest version of the Mac OS.
Nice design though, but there isnt enough ports on the side to make this machine useful for anyone that needs a laptop.
Apple’s education sales are HUGE.
I can’t see a district being willing to go 100% wireless, so I can’t see ditching ethernet.
(Trying imaging 4500 Macs using Wi-Fi ONLY and you’ll understand where I’m coming from)
@Jacob : Then you plug in your USB ethernet adapter.
Well, from the MacWorld images, looks like this is the real deal!
Well close anyway. Got the concept down. Now about that Photoshop stuff.
