Its has really low specs, no inputs, and a 4200rpm hardrive. The hard drive is biggist bottleneck on modern computers, meaning this going to take ages boot up. The Solid state hard drive option you can have, will probbly have near instant to ten seconds boot up(A guess). But comes at a premium of 639 on top :|. I'd go for a sony Tz if i really wanted a ultra portable, of which i don't. I have the macbook pro. Acutally the price preformance ratio is pretty good when its compared to other high preformance laptops. And its made from Aluminium instead of plastic, plus its 1 inch thick. I've seen simular specs on Dell xps with a geforce 8600gt(Same as in pro) in for about 1000, but in person there gamer type laptops, 2 and a half inch plastic bricks. But in the "prepubsecent wanna be clever hackers" community at the moment I also find its quite fashionable to beat down apple for all its worth like there some kind of joke compared to windows/linux. i.e LOLOLOL apple sux0rs!!!!11! But what they forgot is apple was the first company to make computing affordable for home use. They pretty much pioneered it. Apple has always had that designer image way before iPod. Since photoshop, and a lot of sound production software was first develeped on mac, so they have always been used in art deparments etc. But Jonathan Ive really started to mix things up a bit the Imac g3. Never the less he is condisdered be a really good industrial designer. He pretty much changed computers from beige box sterotype. I agree with Macbook Air being a bit featureless.
