Didn't they already answer this?
Hard plastic cracks, soft plastic is of no use, metal machining is expensive. I think the question is pretty much answered. Unless the metal manufacturing comes down (unlikely) we are stuck.

Of course, you don't have to get something as thin as the MBA. Is thin worth $1200 to you?
