Head of Apple Steve Jobs has unveiled a super thin laptop called the 'Macbook Air' at the annual Macworld event. At less than an inch thick you could fit it into an envelope. To save space the laptop doesn't have any optical drives, Apple instead are concentrating on making it a wireless device and with a lot of software now becoming available for download over the internet the lack of a CD or DVD drive might not be a huge disadvantage. But with the price starting at £1,199 you still have to question its value.
The other big announcement to come out of Macworld is that Apple is to start renting films over the internet, admittedly a US only service, however Jobs has said he is "dying to make this international as well".
Some of the low profile announcements at the event include a new software update for Maps on the iPod that will plot the position of the phone's owner. This year's Macworld certainly didn't create as much excitement as last year's announcement of the iPhone but Mac fans should still have a few things to look forward to.
