Steve Jobs unveiled an ultra-slim MacBook Air laptop computer that he billed as the world's leanest laptop on Tuesday.
In trademark theatrical style at the Macworld Expo opening in San Francisco, Mr Jobs slid the laptop from a brown envelope typically used for inter-office mail.
'It's the world's thinnest notebook (computer),' Jobs said with a smile.
MacBook Air is a lean wedge-shape, 0.16 inches thin at the front and 0.76 inches thick at the rear. Jobs compared it to some of the market's thinnest laptops measuring 0.8 inches at one end and 1.2 inches at the other.
World-leading computer chip maker Intel shrunk one of its fast dual-core processors by 60 per cent at Apple's urging to fit the power into MacBook Air, according to Mr Jobs.
