Apple Inc CEO Steve Jobs has revealed their lightest Mac laptop yet combining popular features from the the iPhone and iPad.

Apple, whose computers have taken market share from PCs based on Microsoft Windows, will bring a version of its mobile applications store to the Mac.

Loading up Macs with iPad features may help Apple squash fears that sales will be taken over by the tablet which has stirred up astonishing demand.

The new MacBook Air, introduced with Jobs' signature "one last thing" set-up, is designed to reproduce the versatility of popular devices such as the iPhone and iPad, and will incorporate FaceTime video chats, which Apple is bringing to all its Macs.

Utilising flash storage like the iPad rather than hard drives like conventional computers, it can power up almost instantly from standby mode and store data twice as quickly as a standard hard drive.

Prices start at $999, watch the video for more information.
