And the award goes to…

Newsweek’s Steven Levy for his review “The Skinny On The MacBook Air, Has Apple Gone too Far?”

His review can be found here. The review is decent, the imagery he uses… not so much.

For the weak-of-stomach you might check out the review by Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal here or the one by USAToday’s Ed Baig here.

All three reviews include some good video footage (the image above comes from Levy’s) and all three arrive at the same basic conclusions-

the MacBook Air is a beautiful machine,

it is thin,

it required some major compromises in order to be so thin,

it is thin,

its run time is somewhat less than Apple’s 5 hour rating (big surprise),

and

it is thin.

We’ll be able to give some first-hand info in a week or so but one thing is clear… it is thin.
