Oh, you KNOW you want one.

Less is more (expensive)

I agree with your assessment, especially about the size. Great, its really thin. On one edge. The opposite edge is only a 1/4 inch thinner than the MB/MBP. The biggest portability advantage this has is the two pound weight loss compared to the MB.

Hopefully some of the new features, like the LED screen and multitouch make it into their other laptops, but that'll probably be awhile so they can milk this.

I was planning on getting some sort of portable computer soon and was waiting to see what was announced today. Last week's motorcycle incident and now this has pretty much made up my mind to go EEE (plus a couple hundred in shiny new Honda parts).

You won't get any argument from me that Apple really fucked this one up.

That said, I'm still happy with my Macbook. It's light, fits in a bag and the WLAN detection and stability is a fucking quantum leap over anything I've ever experienced on Windows.

STARTING at $1799? Fuck that shit.

And 3 pounds for something with the word AIR in the name? Nah dude. That's kinda heavy for something that's being positioned as ultra thin and ultra portable.

It looks neat, but I can't say I'd want one. I'm more then happy with my aging desktop right now to even worry about something like this.
