My company thought long and hard, weighing various options for field deployment. We decided to purchase 500 of these machines initially and possibly expand. It's light weight, has a high resolution screen, and critically it runs OS X. We have no need for additional ports, so we came to the conclusion the high resolution screen outweighed the extra ports on the Air. This is the perfect laptop for our use cases. It's funny to see people argue that this machine is "bad", or that "Apple is greedy". A machine is as good as its use case for its buyer. For us it's fine. Nobody can argue that. Nobody can decide our use case but us. Also, everyone always claims Apple charges too much. 1996 called, it wants your argument back. My portfolio is glad they have great margins that other companies would die for, like those who employ the trolls who argue here and try to convince people not to buy something when it's none of their business.
