A select few people actually have a use for this.  It is over priced 
and under powered.  The main reason I would want one is for the Solid 
State drive, and that drives the price up to over $3k, plus I'd want 
it in something like a Panasonic Toughbook enclosure, not some 
super-lightweight thing.

Anyone with any sense will buy a MacBook, and the "Air" will become 
another "Cube".
