MBA for the well off vacationing traveller
I can see the MBA being the ideal notebook for the traveller going through all TSA
checkpoints. The ability to have an instant wake from sleep and the brightness of
the LED backlight should make the security person's job easier. The difference in
weight will make it easier to carry and pull out to show it is really a computer and
not a threat.

Most travelers either have the movie they want to watch loaded on the HDD or on a thumbdrive. The availability of various power adapters will make the battery issue
of little worry to most travelers. I wouldn't be surprised to see a battery box that
you can put AAs in to add power to the MBA like the ones for the iPod.

This is the kind of machine that would appeal to those vacationing and wanting
something that can use the iLife apps to make photo and movie disks and burn
them for others. The extras needed don't take up much more room in a bag and
are usually used when you have time and power available in the hotel/ship room.
