Slide Show: The MacBook Air in Perspective

Apple's ultrathin MacBook Air refocuses attention on ultraportable laptops. How does it stack up against the competing Fujitsu's LifeBook P8010 and Toshiba's Portege R500?

Apple MacBook Air: Full Throttle

The Air is more than a pretty face. At its core: Intel's 1.6-GHz Core 2 Duo P7500 processor--a miniaturized CPU that remains exclusive to Apple, for now. Also inside: 2GB of memory, Intel 965 Express integrated graphics, and an 80GB, 4200rpm hard drive. These specs powered the Air to a PC WorldBench score of 57 (read our analysis of the Air's performance).
