I can’t imagine lack of value being a deterrent for Apple fanboys. Apple has had some of the most expensive products around for some time now. The only company to offer less value for the dollar than Apple is probably Sony, so it’s kind of funny that they’re throwing stones. The x505 didn’t fail because it lacked an optical drive (the last 4 computers I purchased came with DVDRW drives, and I can probably count on one hand how many times I actually burned a DVD – if I get to use two hands and my feet, I can count off the number of times i used the optical drives, at all). The crucial functionality that the x505 lacked was a functional keyboard. I was ready to throw down cash for that gorgeous little thing, but I decided I wanted to stave off carpal tunnel for a few more years.

If you want something light, look no farther than the Palm T|X. if you dont like it, then try the HP iPAQ 211. If you still dont like that then try Palm’s laptop. If you don’t like any of those, then you don’t need the Macbook Air, because those are lighter and smaller and still allow you to get your work done.

vaio tz is lighter than macbook air!!
and comes with optical drive/ethernet/more usb and great resolution(pixels per inch).
that is what is fine engineering is all about, you cant put a monitor and keyboard and call it nice engineering!!

i think it’s a gorgeous laptop. and for people who travel frequently, need to be mobile, want something lightweight, and enjoy elegance, i believe they will buy it. i think there’s a market for it, but it’s certainly not a low-budget user.
