I don't think that there's any disagreement that we would ALL want machines with longer battery life.
If one machine can do it, it makes all other machines seem less capable.
The other arguments are a smokescreen. No one expects an ultralight to be a computing demon, or to be fully equiped without paying even more, which is an option here with the DVD burner.
But if that machine has clear trade-offs to achieve extended battery life it doesn't make me think other machines are less capable, but rather that they are choosing different trade-offs.
I think we would also all like machines with more teh snappy, but the existence of the MacPro doesn't make me think less of the Mini, just that it's trading size and price for speed and expandability.

Everything is a tradeoff. That's whay I agree it isn't a speed monster.
But, generally, people who want small, very light machines want to take them whenever they can. Because they're light, they will get used more because they have a longer battery life.
You might think twice about taking a 4 pound machine with a much shorter battery life with you, but would more likely take the lighter unit.
If Apple had a machine like this, I really believe it would sell well.
