MacBook Air (2008)
The MacBook Air marked Apple’s return to the ultra-portable category—a product class not seen since 1997’s PowerBook 2400c, which, like the MacBook Air, lacked any form of built-in removable storage media. The Intel-based MacBook Air is both Apple’s thinnest and lightest laptop ever, but it has been criticized for its low performance/price ratio and the inclusion of only one USB port. Despite that, the Air remains notable as Apple’s first computer to ship with both a multi-touch trackpad and a solid-state disk option. (Photos: Apple, Inc.)
