The Macbook Air is Apple's first laptop computer to be offered with an optional solid-state hard drive. The CPU is an Intel Core 2 Duo chip that was redesigned for the MacBook Air to reduce its physical size by 60 percent. The trackpad offers iPhone-like Multi-Touch gestures, an improvement over previous MacBook trackpads. Among the gestures are pinching, swiping, and rotating. MacBook Air can also fit in a yellow envelope. [via Wikipedia] Technical Specifications

Only downside is its alot heavier than the standard laptop and the power supply is like a power station (Its massive). I suppose then its a trade off with functionality.
