As we noted, Apple has officially released<\/a> Mac OS 10.7, Codename “Lion” today. We’ll have more on that. However, that’s only part of the story.<\/p>\n First off, let’s go with the big addition of Apple’s new Macbook Air<\/a>. Still starting at $999, this uber-thin-and-light may have the same outsides (with an added and much needed backlit keyboard), but the insides have been shifted dramatically. Now running Intel’s posh Sandy Bridge chips, the Mini has Thunderbolt and sharper screens. It lacks any kind of media port, but Apple’s amazing second quarter<\/a> kind of shows people just don’t care. I’ve personally never been a fan of the Air — I’d rather buy a comparable Lenovo X series device — but with the power these now have under the hood, they’ve gotten more tempting.<\/p>\n
