The MacBook Air Is Thinner Than An Axe Blade*

Just how skinny are the new MacBook Airs? Thanks to this photographic evidence from Best Made Co, we can definitively say they’re thinner than an axe blade. Even the sharp end; see for yourself:

The MacBook Airs are both .68 inches at their fattest and .11 inches at the front, which is decidedly less than the axe pictured here (*though, admittedly, probably not all axes).

Let’s just all hope it’s not as sharp. [Thanks Peter!]

    Wow. Apple has uncovered the technology of TAPERING METAL. Amazing. We’re all pretty impressed. So, like, can we get over it now?

    I’m thinner than Chris Farley.

    What’s your point, Gizmodo?
