Apple unveils new ultra-thin laptop
The laptop called the MacBook Air weighs just 1.3 kilograms and costs £1,200. The computer, which is 0.76 inches (1.93cm) at its thickest point, was unveiled at the annual technology showcase event in San Francisco."We're dying to get this international as well," proclaimed Mr Jobs, saying it would become available worldwide later in the year.
However the laptop does not have a CD or DVD drive in order to save space. "It was built to be a wireless machine," he added.
The machine will face stiff competition from other firms attempting to create "sub-notebooks", designed to be lighter and more mobile.
It will go on sale in two weeks and costs from $1,799 in the US (£1,199 in the UK) and comes with either an 80GB hard disc drive as standard or 64GB solid state drive for an additional $999.
Apple head, Steve Jobs, also launched online film rentals for iTunes users in the US. The move is linked with many of the major film studios, including Fox and Disney.
Apple also showcase a revamped Apple TV called Take Two after admitting the first attempt wasn't as successful as he had hoped.
