It is not that ultra thin laptops have not been introduced by the other companies in the market, before Apple launched its Mac Book Air, but it’s just that they failed terribly in doing that.

Here’s something for you! The major mistakes made by HP, Dell, Acer, Samsung or other leading PC developers:

Firstly, Sony’s X505 came in 2003, and then Dell introduced the Adamo in 2009, and later the same year, Dell introduced even thinner Adamo XPS.

But, Sony’s laptop was overpriced and Dell laptops were not only heavy on the pockets but the battery life of its laptops was awful.

Sony and Dell laptop creators were stumbled seeing the endless problems of the laptops and some of the problems even gave them challenges to address the flaws.

But Apple adopted the path of tortoise which was slow and steady but did not lose the heart. They devised a special case-less SSD that could be fit in its slim design.

This idea created wonders, and helped them made the motherboard smaller, the components cheaper, and they jam-packed lithium polymer battery as much as they could fit in the case. And, by 2010 the status of the Air had changed from an overpriced, underpowered status toy to the must-have computer.

It is not that other manufacturers were wrong, but to be the best, one has to go out of envelope.
