MacBook Air

...interesting to note that there's no hard disk option to the standard 80 GB (1.8") unit. Either supplies of the drive used in the 160 GB iPod are higly constrained, or they can't afford the extra 3mm of thickness, or maybe both. I suppose the smart money waits until Moore's Law sweetens the deal on the solid-state drive option, $999 for -16 GB.

Ken: The 2.7-lb. Sony has an 11.1-inch screen -- so basically they've packed the screen from a 4-lb subnotebook into a 3-lb. unit.
A minor downside is dealing with games that use the distro CD/DVD as a key.
