Seriously?
The current MacBook Air is *FINALLY* a viable machine. They have fixed 99% of the inherent issues with it. The 11" has a few issues, but generally speaking these are solid machines that literally destroy the competition in almost every way.
- Backlight is back. The # of people trading theirs in and selling them is proof positive that the backlight was extremely sought after.
- A decent processor.
- Fair BTO options. Unlike the wide disparity seen on the Pro and the earlier Air, you now have quite comparable machines across the board except for storage capacity, mostly.
- Apple relented and will sell Lion on a USB stick instead of the totally asinine approach of download only.
The ONLY thing you can complain about is a graphics card? In a machine not really designed to do that much that really requires more graphics power?
Is it really that hard for people to understand that if you want POWER...get a Pro. If you want MOBILITY...get an Air. And now, the Air is a mobile powerhouse with "just enough" power to actually be a value. If you want to run Crysis on full settings, get a Pro. Or better yet, get a PC laptop, since it'll probably do a better job...and deal with the 3 hour battery life.
