The MacBook Air is Apple's first foray into the market segment of
ultra-portables.  It compares well with other existing name brands 
such as Sony and Lenovo, although I am curious to see how consumers
in this market will react to no built-in Ethernet.  Most people who
do not understand the MacBook Air value CPU power over portability.
