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. -- Eugene http://www.coxar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
