We had Air-thin laptop since 2006...

Macbook AIR

Apple isn't the first one to introduce paper thin laptops like MACBook AIR. Back in 2006, Fujitsu(a relatively unknown company) introduced Q-series thin laptops weighing only 2.2 pounds. It had also the features which AIR is boasting of. According to CNET.com, "The ultraportable notebook is less than one inch thick and uses Intel's new Core Solo processor. It's designed as an executive companion for world-weary travelers tired of lugging larger notebooks through airport security, said Paul Moore, director of mobile product marketing at Fujitsu."

But, due to their very bad marketing strategy, the CEO of the company had to take back the Q10 series. Although it was an awesome piece of technology, it wasn't able to survive in the market.
On the right side are MACBook AIR and Fujitsu Q10 laptop. Notice the thinness of both.

Moral: Sometimes good things also don't succeed because their timing is bad. So, if anything is unsuccessful, it doesn't mean it deserved that.
