We were relieved to discover the MacBook Air ships in more than just a manila envelope.
Step 2
The MacBook Air adds yet another power adapter to Apple's impressively-varied lineup, and is the first Mactel to run on 45 watts.
A comparison, from top to bottom:
iPhone (5-watt)
iPod (8-watt)
MacBook Air (45-watt)
MacBook (60-watt)
MacBook Pro (85-watt)
Step 3
The new MagSafe power adapter has been rotated 90 degrees to handle the Air's extreme thinness.
The earlier MacBook power adapter works, but won't fit when the Air is placed on a flat surface.
