I can't see it taking on the Air, and although more expensive, it's no different in price to buying an air with the apple external superdrive.
I'm still struggling to see the point of these devices until ssd's and the like become more affordable, it seems that manufacturers so desperately want to do the whole 'Air' thing, which lets face it, with PC users doing what they do and being who they are (as opposed to mac users, who don't as a rule game or fiddle with OS's) doesn't really work.
It seems almost contradictory, lets make it as thin and minimalist as possible, but yet we still need all of this functionality and ports. I read the comments made over the article, but I don't think that the posters really got into the head of a mac user, and thus the product will always be found wanting cost for cost in comparison to your average pc.
Yet to the mac user, Air works because of all the things that it's lacking. An oxymoron? yes.
Also, as PC users, do we expect to pay these sort of (apple) prices for our hardware?
