In 1998(!), Mitsubishi released a laptop called the <a href="http://www.news.com/Mitsubishi-unveils-notebook/2100-1001_3-205190.html" rel="nofollow">Pedion</a> which was probably thicker, on average, than the MacBook Air, but at its thickest point was only 0.724". It was $6000, riddled with hardware problems, and wasn't on the market for very long. However, even that wasn't the thinnest notebook. In 2003, Sharp had a laptop called the <a href="http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9852240-7.html" rel="nofollow">Muramasas</a>, which was only 0.54" thick and ran off a Transmeta Crusoe.
