I am thinking of getting either the new 2.4ghz MB stock (new) or MB Air 1.8ghz stock (refurb). MB is $1600 OTD and MBA is $1650 OTD. Your thoughts on the two?

I like the Air because it's Sexy and light weight. I have not seen the MB in person yet, I will tomorrow.
 
I just got my 2.4 mb today.
I chose the macbook over the air, for speed reasons. Yes.. the air is sexy... :p But in regards to actual function..the macbook blows it away. And the new mbs are quite cute and small in my opinion. They look absolutely tiny in person! :)

It's up to what you use it for really...I wanted mine to last...so I went with MB :)

I've owned both. The sacrifices on the air are not worth it now. The Macbook is now thin enough and light enough that unless you are having to carry it in your hands everywhere you go all the time you won't be bothered.
