I have had a mac mini, and still have a macbook, iPhone and Time Capsule, I never got the Air Thing, its slower then a macbook, has less features then these Netbooks and is more expensive then a Macbook Pro, its just Light and Stylish with no substance.

I cant believe apple thought this item would sell more or be as excepted as say something like a Gaming Mac

Without wanting to sound like a SJ Reality Distortion Field by-product, I think the Macbook Air 1.8/SSD is an incredible machine. It's the best laptop I've ever owned, with by far the best keyboard. I agree, it's an expensive machine, but mine would be worth it to me even at twice the price I paid.

Of course, if a thin and light Mac doesn't float your boat then it'll always be too expensive.

Vaio TZ's keyboard is as good, though. And the Sony's cheaper, smaller, has better battery life, Ethernet (cheap dig :) couldn't resist), looks at least as good, arguably better... etc etc.

Trusted Reviews stating that the VAIO TZ11MN was an infinitely superior machine to the MacBook Air struck a chord with me.

I'm pretty tired of Apple fanboyism infecting the objectivity of review sites. Having said that, I wish they'd stop skirting round the issue and post a definitive review of the Air. It's almost as if they're scared to slap that under-featured dishonestly-marketed sham with the 5/10 it deserves - and that would be generous. When will people accept that this is the Hollyoaks cast member of laptops?

And I'm no blind Microsoft follower, as I love the MacBook (Pro) range and hold OS X in very high regard. But it's a no-brainer : if you want a MacBook, buy a MacBook.

We're not spending over £1,000 on a MacBook Air just to review it and say we'd never spend over £1,000 on one.

Of course if you want to supply me a unit I'll write a comprehensive review happily.

Are you telling me in amongst your network of technophiles, you don't have one measly mate, one Apple fanboy that'll let you borrow one?! Hey maybe someone at C|NET'll be kind enough to give you a loan of one. XD {Watches the TR staff hiss like in the Raiders snake chamber.}

Heh, well obviosly we could get one if we wanted to, that's not the problem, we're just far busier looking at stuff that deserves our attention. ;)

I'm sorry. But the attitude of the TR staff seems arrogant to me. Are you guys really not planning to do a review of the Air? If not, I can say you'll leave one reader really disappointed...

We just don't see the point in a full review, we've made our opinions clear enough - the Air isn't going to score well on anything but the OS...

And don't forget the awesome design! Take that Sony...

Hugo, I understand your point.
