Did we read the same article on the Macbook Air you linked over on Macworld? The author closes by saying: "As a longtime fan of small laptops, I embraced the MacBook Air with some trepidation. But once I slipped that three-pound laptop into my backpack and threw the bag over my shoulders, I realized that sacrificing some storage space and some processor power was ultimately worth it for me." Not exactly the negative sentiment you suggested.
