Not much, literally.

Not a lot of good can be said about a computer that was made with the goal of being the thinnest. Would you really buy a computer because it is the thinnest made to date? I would sacrifice and get a few extra centimeters for a cd/dvd drive.

    I would, I don’t like heavy stuff.

    …assuming I ever bought computers that is! My laptop is some 500MHz Vaio that work threw out in 2002 :)

    Couldn’t agree more. As usual with Apple, it’s form over function. And massively overpriced for such a low-spec underpowered machine.

    It depends. I, for instance, would a super slim laptop in a heart beat. A thin computer is pretty much a god sent when I think about it. I have always hated most laptops because they are heavy. When you spend your time doing demos day and night, and traveling like mad: weight is one thing you do not want to deal with. However I would not buy the Air: overpriced. I am incredibly happy though because this is going to kick off a new trend for laptop producer: thin is the next thing. I still have a slim vaio (broken now) that I keep dreaming of repairing. I say strip everything out. But that’s just me.
