MacBook Air is 10 years old

Today it's been exactly 10 years since Steve Jobs stepped onto the stage of the San Francisco exhibition hall and took out a white notebook from a thin paper envelope, having struck spectators until now unprecedented in size.

10 years ago the very notion of an ultrabook seemed like a dream of Sony's bosses, and a typical working laptop weighed 3-4 kg, which was quite normal.

Thin laptops were on the market, but as a rule they suffered from high prices, weak iron, lack of a full-sized keyboard or a tiny screen. And then from all at once.

PC a 13.3-inch display, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, a good Intel GMA X3100 graphics card, 2 GB of RAM, an SSD drive, a full-size keyboard, a convenient touchpad and a single USB connector instead of a CD drive.

It was really the thinnest and most elegant laptop on the market, with no weaknesses in the filling or design. True, and it cost him at that time as much as $ 3,100
