The MacBook Air has done what Apple products (iPod, iPhone, multi-touch) do best: inspire. More specifically, Apple inspires others to innovate and take technology and design to the next level. The Air pushed the envelope of notebook ultra mobility by being introduced inside an envelope. The manila folder envelope has now become synonymous with MacBook Air and its ultra thin design.
In celebration of the 6 months anniversary of the MacBook Air, Trend Hunter has gathered 16 awesome trends about the skinny model that started the notebook size zero wars.
The MacBook Air was introduced at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 15, and released on January 29, 2008.
