Apple's MacBook Air, although lacking a few vital features, is touted as offering an amazing color depth thanks to its 13.3-inch widescreen LED backlit display which delivers 1280-by-800 resolution. It is a well known fact that LED technology also conserves battery life.

Apple's Air also sports a full-size, illuminated keyboard, but also a trackpad that adopts many of the innovative Multi-Touch gestures from Apple's popular iPhone, such as "pinch," "swipe" and "rotate."

And, since the Air doesn't sport an optical drive, the "world's thinnest notebook" uses this unique feature (one that it cannot do without) called Remote Disc. It allows its user to access the DVD or CD drive of a Mac or PC close by, in order to install software or to retrieve files.
