Time goes back to January 15th, 2008 – 10 years ago today – where Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiling the MacBook Air, the world's thinnest notebook at the time, it gave us a glimpse into the future of Apple’s plans and ambitions across all of their product lines.
The notebook only weighs 3 pound, of course, the thinness comes at a cost, a base model priced at $1,799, which includes a 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, and an 80GB hard drive. A maxed out version was available for $3,098, with a little faster 1.8GHz processor and a 64GB solid-state drive.
The MacBook Air paved the way of design for the past decade of Apple: a flip-down door on the right side of the machine provided access to only a single USB port, a headphone jack, and a micro-DVI port. And all these changes generated controversy, but ultimately set the course for its future.
