A thoughtful review (thanks dubdew!)
Pics that may make you drool.
Apple has got me tied about its little finger. Every time a new product comes out, I find myself having to justify to myself why I DO NOT WANT it — even when it is plainly obvious that I DO NOT NEED IT, like an iPhone or the MacBook Air. Apple's genius is not in coming out with products that I need; it is is coming out with products that I know I don't need but think about anyway.
I am constantly justifying to myself why I DO NOT WANT Mac products.
Anyway, I'm not getting one because I already have a MacBook and the MacBook Air is just the emaciated cousin of my MacBook. If I were to want an anorexic lappy, I would get an UMPC instead, something like the Eee PC in the Mac version, which sadly does not exist. Besides —here begins the justifications— there is no optical drive (but no optical drive means no region code either: warped thinking I know); there is only one USB port (not like the two on my MacBook is that great); it is light (...) Oh wait, I think that last point is on the wrong side of the fence...
Anyway, the long and short of it is: I DO NOT WANT THE MACBOOK AIR.

have you tried the Eee PC?
How was it?
I fiddled with it for about two minutes at a store. I'm not sure. But I wonder if it is really much better than say, a Palm Treo, if you know what I mean. It is back in stock at Sim Lim so you can go take a look...
