Another thing to remember

I've been thinking about the real compromises: slower processor, slower hard drive,
smaller disk options, no optical drive, no FireWire (and no Target Disk Mode), no
opportunity to swap batteries, 100 base-T ethernet. At that point, an ordinary
MacBook looks like a better deal - $700 cheaper, 2 lbs heavier, and a lot more
features. No doubt that the MacBook Air is much more cool, but is that enough to
outweigh its shortcomings? I'm sure it will be a commercial success based on the
cool factor alone, but power may look elsewhere, even for a second computer.
