Japanese press unboxes the MacBook Air

by Scott McNulty Jan 21st 2008 at 8:30PM



We all know what the MacBook Air looks like, but what we all want to know is: what the heck does the box look like? Thanks to a briefing that Apple had for the Japanese press we now know. Check out the whole Flickr set for some photos featuring all the products Apple announced last week. If you're just interested in checking out the MacBook Air box check out the following pictures: the box, opening it up, the first look at the accessories, and there it is.

Thanks, Hazmat.

If you're in the market for picking up one of these when they show up on the refurbished site you can use a rss generator I created for the apple store.

Don't bother trying to view the pictures, they are now all private.

Apparently, she took them down and Gizmodo got now the exclusive shots. Here:

I like her opinions on the Air on that page.

"I am a Windows user and I love my [Panasonic] Let's Note, but I have to say that I love the MacBook Air. It completely charmed me."

Hmm... I'm surprised they didn't just package it in a bullet-proof envelope.

Video clip of the event at:

Basically same images as the flickr pics, but nice to see action. I haven't figured out where in Tokyo the event was held, but guessing Shinjuku district, maybe a hotel or somewhere in city hall towers

Hmm, seems like Apple has done away with the plastic handle that exists on all other portable computer boxes. Maybe this is an eco-friendly move.
