Correct. 13.3" LED backlit, LCD display. 1.6GHz core 2 duo (by default), 2GB
ram, and 3/4" at its thickest. The MBA (macbook air) is pretty cool, but I
do worry about the non-user-replacable battery. Though Apple is claiming
that if you buy a new battery for it, they'll put it in for free. Meaning
it'll cost the same as replacing the battery in a MBP, but you'll have to
send it in to Apple to get it done. It's a good option for an ultra-portable
IMHO, but expensive. If the display is a priority for you though, you won't
be dissapointed.
