Unfortunately, the 11.6" macbook pro will be a hot seller 1 year from now on the used market when they go for $500.
More powerful and useful than an ipad, yet reasonably priced.

Those whose opinions are not aligned with your own are crybabies? Very mature...
Truth.
Personally, the 11.6" MBA will be a perfect supplement to my MBP, because an i7 and discrete graphics is a bit much for taking notes in class.
Also, carrying around less weight would be a welcome blessing in my day-to-day.
Clearly, some of our thoughtful and considerate members have forgotten that their specific needs don't necessarily apply to the rest of the world.
It's inevitable!
Thing to remember with the 11.6" is its exactly the same price as the entry level white plastic 13" macbook, but your getting a much nicer unibody aluminium design, an SSD and higher res screen. True the CPU isn't as quick and not as much storage space, but that shouldn't be a major issue for most people.
I guess the 11.6 looks 'wrong' to some because the aspect ratio. Give it a few weeks and you'll accept it like any other member of Apples notebook flock. I'm popping into my local Apple Store today, on the off chance they have some on display, the 11.6 looks like a fun little toy. I also think it's a nice parity to price match it to the plastic Macbooks.

Does any know if I can put two web browser side by side without any side scrolling on the MacBook Air 13.3 ". The resolution and width of the screen seems like it can. Can anyone justify this?

No you can't. Most sites are 900-1100px wide. Add some more for the scroll bar, that's 1800-2200+ for two windows side by side, so the 1440px won't help much.

Would it be the same case if I were to hook the MacBook Air to a 50" HDTV screen?
Or does the 50" HDTV screen add more realistate rather than just enlarging the screen?

My thoughts exactly. I use a 13" MacBook Pro on my little desk at home. We also have a Mac Pro for heavy lifting (mostly gaming), which my son tends to dominate. The 11.6" machine will be absolutely perfect for backpacking to campus and elsewhere. It will soon be my sole computer for schoolwork.
The only one that doesn't suck is the Thinkpad Edge, and that one has crappy battery life.
I don't agree with the OP necessarily, but I do think the 13" Air is a much better value than the 11", unless you absolutely need the small form factor. Initially, I too was going to go for the 11 inch. But then I realized that with the necessary (for me) upgrades to the faster processor and upgraded RAM and storage, the 11" costs the same as the 13" with a slightly faster processor, and the 128GB HD and 4GB of ram. Plus, you're getting a larger screen and better battery life, not to mention the SD card slot. The only downside is the extra half pound of weight.
To me, it's a no brainer to go for the 13" inch, sexy as the 11" may be.
