"The Macbook Air runs from 0.76" to 0.16" (that's not a typo.) The thickest part of the MacBook Air is thinner than the thinnest part of the TZ series (Sony's thinnest laptop). So thin it fits in a manila envelope." - Apple
Below are the pictures of the Macbook Air notebook from macworld.com when Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the MacBook Air during the Macworld Expo keynote address.
Sporting a silvery finish, the MacBook Air features a 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display that has a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. It weighs about 3 pounds, and has a thickness of 0.16-0.76 inches. It's 12.8 inches wide and 8.95 inches deep.
The MacBook Air is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo chip running at 1.6GHz, with 1.8GHz available as an option and includes a 1.8-inch hard disk drive with 80GB of storage capacity. Apple estimates that with wireless networking turned on, the MacBook Air can get about 5 hours of battery life.
According to Steve Jobs with environmental goals behind the MacBook Air, it has a fully recyclable aluminum case, and is "the first" to have a mercury-free display with arsenic-free glass too.
The MacBook Air notebook is priced starting at $1,799.

I agree that the Macbook Air is a great computer with many innovative features. However I cant see it being used as a primary computer because of the lack of an optical drive or Ethernet port.
I agree with you Andrew, also the Macbook Air processor speed of 1.6GHz is very low. It will not be enough to run latest games and graphic intensive softwares. And at that price you would expect more.
