At the risk of sounding obvious, the MacBook Air is incredibly light and tiny. Its looks owe a lot to the MacBook Pro and previous silver Mac laptop models, but its curved edges and tapered shape are unlike anything we’ve seen on a Mac laptop in a long time, if ever. Someone sitting next to me just likened it to a really big iPod nano, and that’s not far off.

Because of the product’s curves, there aren’t flat spots on the side for ports, as there are on existing Mac laptops. On the left side, near the back, is a slightly recessed space on the MacBook Air’s underside with a MagSafe power connector. As a result, the MacBook Air comes with a different power brick, a smaller 45-watt brick than the one the MacBook uses. And the adapter’s tip is different, a right-angled silver shape that’s designed to nestle snug against the MacBook Air’s side.
If Apple had used the current MagSafe adapter, it simply wouldn’t fit—that adapter sticks straight out, an orientation that would prevent you from setting the MacBook Air down on a desk. Read more on this site...
