I?ve got a MacBook Pro and love it (I use it for music production/performance and graphic design, pretty much 2 of a Mac?s main uses!!) ? saw the Air in the flesh for the first time this weekend and must admit, it really is a rather fetching piece of kit.

I expect we will see a lot of people picking it up for the wow factor, for a bit of style, to look cool. What?s so wrong with that? You can only drive a Ferrari up to the speed limit, which is way below the capability of the car. You also lose a lot of things with the expensive Ferrari ? like decent luggage space, rear seats, practicality, but it?s still a cool thing to have if you can afford it. Sometimes a product is about more than its technical capability and about making a statement ? which to my mind, the Air does brilliantly.
