After slogging my 17" PowerBook through airport security last January, I can
see the appeal of the MacBook Air. It's not meant to be your primary
computer; it's meant to be your traveling computer, on which you can run
Office and check your email and surf the Web. Nothing more.

It's not MEANT to replace a PowerBook, or a MacBook Pro, or a MacPro. It's
for people who want portability, lightweight, something between a MacBook
and an iPhone Touch.

I can totally understand the market niche.
