Two of these document the MacBook Air, which was the first Apple notebook to use a combination frame and casing made out of a single block of aluminum. Aside from external design, the other patent covers the Air's multi-touch glass trackpad, which has also since spread to other Apple portables. Its origins can be traced back to the iPhone."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1267640292.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>The last of the patents awarded was for the MacBook Pro, shown above. I think it is about time for a revamp of this line don't you?&nbsp;</p>
