Two people I know have put in their orders for a MacBook Air. One is my husband, an international airline pilot who is tired of lugging his MacBook and the company supplied thinkpad around in his flight bag. He has been waiting for something like this MacBook Air and even though we never buy the first version of hardware, he has decided to plunge in get one now. The other purchaser is a friend based in China and who travels constantly. He will keep his 12" PowerBook at home and travel with the MacBook Air. We will sell the MacBook and when my husband needs to load anything from a CD or DVD (something we rarely have a need to do) he can access my MacBook Pro.
