This summer's refresh of the MacBook Air was a doozy: Backlit keyboard, faster processor, and a new Thunderbolt port. It's easily one of the best ultra-light laptops you can by.
Why it's important: The MacBook Air set the standard for the new wave of light and thin Ultrabooks we've seen at the end of this year. Asus, Acer, Toshiba, and others have already taken a stab at competing with the MacBook Air. Next year we're expecting to see dozens more. This is a whole new genre of mobile computing.
