The Air is incredibly thin and an amazing feat of engineering - although the lack of a replaceable battery is a bit of a killer.

Apple MacBook Air looks well fantastical.

Apple MacBook Air looks well fantastical.

It may be happy who may know a hi-tech like this for his own.

I yet for it Apple I would be glad about a notebook that somebody single Apple MacBook Air onto a notebook replaces.

It would be useful for my informatics studies.

For me a machine like this unfortunately only a dream because I cannot bribe it.

Wow! They are really giving you guys the business.

Over here its $1700, which is like, what, 3 pounds now?

1200 would give you a car here.

I don't know what motherboards Apple may have used in the past, and I'm not commenting on whether they design their own components, but it definitely does still outsource the manufacture of its laptops to Asus.

It doesn't make anything itself.

Fact.

Well, I'm a PC user and I'd buy one

A couple of months ago I bought a top spec Dell XPS M1330 with a 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo, 64GB SSD, 4GB RAM, internal HSDPA, LED backlit display, 3 year warranty for around £1750. Spec-wise it beats the pants off the MacBookAir and it was a fair bit cheaper too. It suits me well for my job. However, the MBA is one sexy bit of kit and if I didn't need a machine for more than web browsing, WP and email then a MBA would be right up my street.

I could drop the cash on one tomorrow but I'll do what I'm planning to do with the iPhone: wait until version three and then buy one. Another two or three years and I think Apple will be making the machines to have and not just from the fashion sense.
