Let's get this straight...this will probably remain the "lightest" and "thinnest" notebook on earth for a while. But that's about all it has to boast of.

The Macbook Air features a tiny 80GB HDD - the same as the one found on iPods; and even if you add the optional 64GB SSD, it still lacks serious storage.
Also, the thinnest book in the world also sacrifices on other essentials such as an optical drive...and instead asks you to buy (and carry around at extra weight!) an external drive to play your DVDs.

It does feature some nifty features like the self-illuminating keyboard and all; but if you start weighing all its features against the hole to your wallet its going to make, you'd seriously need to decide if you need to spend that much for a notebook you can pull out of a manila envelop and impress everyone.

After all, looks aren't everything.
