Sharp Actius MM10 is thinner than the MacBook Air

“Apple boasts that the MacBook Air is the world’s thinnest notebook. The trouble with boasting is that people like to prove you wrong. We reported on the Mitsubishi Pedion, which, ten years ago, came in at 0.04 inches thinner than the Apple notebook.

CNET has since dug up an even thinner machine, the Sharp Actius MM10, which is an unbelievable 0.54 inches thick, soundly beating the MacBook Air’s roly-poly 0.76 inches, and managing to squeeze in an ethernet port, a PCMCIA slot and two (2!) USB ports.”

I guess it is a question Aesthetics vs. Functionality… but the MacBook Air looks far better, however Sharps 2 USB slots and ethernet port gives it better flexibility.

Also, the “AirMail” – a vinyl Manilla envelope developed by various suppliers to carry the MacBook Air also kicks ass (See Picture Below)

I guess it will all boil down to preference and what you’re going to use the hardware for. For my needs, the Macbook Air should be fine, despite the high price… like many of Apple’s products, it just seems worth it.
