For a second laptop when you need to be ultra-portable or ultra-lightweight, I think it'd be fine. But the price doesn't really justify it for me, especially when the Pro's are so nice (and not really that bulky) anyway. It gets a 9.875/10 on the cool factor though. Very sexy. I’d have to agree.

In fact, I might have said the same thing in my blog post about it. It is amazing that they could make the Air that thin and light without severely crippling it. I am mystified about two things, though: - No 160GB HDD upgrade. It's the same drive in the iPod Classics. It should be $100 upgrade. - No firewire. Wow. 'Nuff said. Don't get too worked up about the battery people. You're an early adopter. The battery will likely last 2-3 years before it needs replaced. You most likely won't have this notebook by then as you'll have sold it to buy a newer model sometime in that 2-3 years. I agree with you on going Pro.
