The SSD hard disk capacity has been boosted to 128GB, or 320GB for the conventional hard disk. The laptop's design remains otherwise unchanged, with the new MacBook Air starting from $1,799.

Apple also introduced a new 24in flatscreen Cinema Display. It's the first Apple Cinema Display to use LED backlighting, and sports devilishly slender corner-to-corner glass.

The 1,920 x 1,200 display includes a MagSafe charger for the MacBooks, to ensure the screen isn't damaged when the cable is accidentally yanked out. It also acts as a three-port USB hub.
