I am embarrassed to admit this, but I spent a good portion of yesterday refreshing numerous technology blogs as Steve Jobs gave his keynote speech at the annual MacWorld.

Please don’t judge me.

It is just that since acquiring my iPhone, I have grown more and more obsessed with Apple products. They are so white. And shiny. And pretty. Oh, and I also wanted to see if Mr. Jobs had addressed my personal iPhone issue of searching through contacts on the phone…which he did not. So, if you happen to know Steve Jobs personally, please let him know that I am still waiting.

Anyways, besides the awesome news that iTunes will now be offering movie rentals – perfect to download to your iPod video/classic/touch/iPhone/laptop for long plane rides – the Mac Daddy introduced his brand new baby: The MacBook Air.

This thing is like the Nicole Richie of laptops. Super duper skinny. And oh so chic.

Just watch the demonstration. This laptop fits in a manila envelope. An envelope! Imagine how much easier it would be to tote this thing around – to the library, to class, on a road trip. The MacBook Air is super light, ultra fast and so completely awesome looking. Just think of the guys you will attract writing a paper on this at the ‘Bucks. Reason enough to fork over the $1,800 (ouch!) for it.

The price tag is probably the only problem this little guy has. But, if your family is anything like mine and you haven’t yet celebrated Christmas/Hanukkah (we are doing it this weekend), I think this would be the perfect item to put on your list. I did, but my mom just laughed at me and said something about me paying for my own stuff and blah blah blah.

Maybe next year? Mom? …Bueller?
