MacBook Air, cool toy but WAY overpriced!

[PowerFullMac]

So the MacBook Air, I think most of us would agree its cool (does look a little like a Tibook though) but it IS a rip off, here is what you get for £1,199: MacBook Air... Thats it. Bear in mind there is no disk drive on this thing, thats extra... Even though they already made you pay £1,299! Not forgetting that EVERY new Mac has a Apple Remote included (for Front Row) but its a extra £10 with the Air! For another £100 you can get a MacBook Pro with all this stuff... I say its WAY better value, as for me, im getting a MacBook.

Was there really a need to start ANOTHER thread? Pretty much everyone else has already said this elsewhere (AND started threads to say it too)!

All Macs are overpriced in the UK, IMO.

Which is it then? £1,199 or £1,299?
