Hah! And here I am again with no mod points.

Very informative. Thanks for that. Would mod you up if I had points.

The MacBook Air is NOT designed to be a "primary computer."

In fact, the brilliance on Apple's part here is the recognition (FINALLY) that there are lots of people with big honkin desktop machines who also need a portable computer for going out to meetings, travel or just reading the web (on something bigger then a 3" screen) at the local coffee shop. For us, the Air is perfect - a minimalist extension of our main work computer.

The only two complaints I have about the Air are the hard drive (you get to choose slow or obscenely expensive) and the fact that Apple hasn't really taken the concept of a satellite laptop as far as they could in OS X. It would be cool if my MacPro and my laptop used WiFi to sync up documents, preferences, media files and such. This problem is especially acute in iTunes where I have hundreds of GB of media on my main machine, but have to manually manage those things on my laptop. I wish Apple recognized this problem and solved it elegantly.

Other then that, I already pre-ordered my MB Air with the SSD. I can't wait!

Time to go to sleep. When I read the headline I thought, "Yeesh, that's a pretty harsh punishment for commuting with hospitalized people. And why do people in the hospital need to be sharing a car, anyway?"

"Dell, you are brilliant. Running everything from the music downloads, to an integrated portable player for those, skipping the entire idea of reliance on a physical medium. I predict BIG things for this."

cough...
