    Sony TZ is the target. $2,099-$3,699.99.



    You are kidding right? $1799 is inexpensive in comparison.



    Nonsense. Think of what you lose over a normal Macbook... there is a *lot* missing.



    And you pay more for it?



    Yes it is damn, damn thin, but really, I think people will see it as fragile to begin with, and fail to see the point of it net to already svelt Macbook/Pro offerings.

    Wrong wrong wrong, as I'm sure many others will point out.



    This is going to be a huge seller.

    Well, that's why they aren't discontinuing the MacBook and MacBook Pro. It's not like the lineup is losing anything...

    Micro-DVI isn't a displayport like thing since other folks use it...llike ASUS.



    Didn't mention an expresscard slot which is a shame. I guess there's no space for one.

    If I had money to blow (and a desktop) I would consider the Macbook Air but otherwise, I will happily stick with my MacBook. It's a better deal.

    And if I had the money, I'd get it. For now I'll live with my Eee PC.

    Then buy a freakin' Macbook. Right?



    ... and why not compare it to the TZ? Apple did.



    "Oh no! Apple just gave me more choice. Must complain!"

    I think the MacBook Air is the new CUBE. Another failed product. Funny thing is the price is the same as the cube. I think it's a POS.

    Yah...all those folks that claimed that no ultraportable could be 13" just got pwned.



    The multitouch trackpad should hopefully make working in coach a reasonable thing too.

    A few years back Sharp did this same type of thing. It was a tiny laptop that was designed as a "Companion" to a desktop or full laptop. I had one and it was pretty cool but after a while the trade offs didn't make sense and I got rid of it a couple of months later. Between my MacBook, my iPhone, and my Winmobile smartphone ( I have to have it due to no exchange support on iPhone and my company won't allow IMAP!) I am pretty well satisfied with my mobility options.

    I am impressed though and overall happy, I just got built up too much from the speculation maybe..

    No it is you talking nonsense.



    Ever since rumours of an Apple ultra-portable surfaced, there's been this group of people deluding themselves over how much it would be likely to cost.



    The MacBook Air is an Ultra Portable. Don't compare it to a MacBook, because a MacBook is not an Ultra Portable. Go compare the MacBook to other Ultra Portables and you will probably find that it kicks their arses and is cheaper to boot.
