I did have a chance to see the Air several days ago, and it does have a lot of the "cool" factor. I found the design impressive and pure Apple. But it seems to be missing the power and flexibility to be a great mobile workstation. This is a consumer product that is now becoming a Mac status symbol. I have yet to read anything that has talked about how fast or powerful the computer is, just a lot of "how cool the laptop is". Cars, houses, phones, and now laptops are a new status symbol.

Kinda like expensive brand clothes. Yeah, buying stuff just to show them off is pretty stupid. Kinda like expensive brand clothes.
