I have never been a fan of the overpriced macs, however, over the years there software and hardware is getting more and more impressive.

Apple is the leader in inovation these days. Although that doesnt mean the market share.

I'm not a huge fan in super thin notebooks. With the way I use me electronics, that won't last more that 3 months for me. (I will break it at some point :P)

I like notebooks that are relatively thick, sturdy, and high performing.

No LAN, no card reader, no DVD drive... and only one USB port to make up for that, and all this so that the "excess" ports don't spoil the elegance of the case. Except that I'm afraid that this would make a USB hub a must for me, and having to always carry it and have it by the notebook really isn't my idea of elegant.

Also, the battery isn't user replaceable, so one can't use a spare when it "dies" during a long flight or in a similar situation. Even worse, if one has to replace it, one must send it to Apple - a serious inconvenience for business folk.

gag. No thanks.

I want to see how well it would hold up in my backpack. I'm guessing it would not last an entire quarter.

So Sony's X505 launched in 2003 with just 9mm thickness and can retain the thinest notebook in the world

compare the mac air to the competition:
