"Even at less than two centimetres thin, MacBook Air sets a pretty high standard by making flash storage standard. Flash chips are very small, allowing MacBook Air to be incredibly thin and light. Flash is also solid state, meaning there are no moving parts. Which makes it reliable, durable and quiet. And because we place the flash chips directly on the logic board, they take up much less space about 90 per cent less, in fact. That creates room for other important things, like a bigger battery. So you have a notebook that weighs almost nothing and runs for hours on a single charge. Thats mobility mastered."
