MacBook Air Officially Shipping

apple-macbook-air.jpgI'm sure you didn't forgot about the greatest laptop of all times (yeah right...) that Steve Jobs presented during MacWorld 2008. It was just a figure of speech to call it that way but guys, I have news. The MacBook Air is officially shipping and even though I heard rumors a few days ago saying the same thing I wasn't sure, until today when I read about it on Apple.

For those that will make their orders today there is still a 2-3 weeks delay until they get it home, but if you pre-ordered when it was first announced then I am sure you'll be getting it these days. Let us know what you got inside when you get it and tell us what you think about it.
