At $800 it would indeed be a steal. Why are so many people trying to compare the Air and its price with a standard MacBook? The Air is designed to compete with subnotebooks from Sony and Toshiba and they are above $1800. If you don't want a small, 3# laptop, get a MacBook. I'm looking forward to my Air's arrival!
