Love it. Levy, the tech writer for USA Today, left his MBA on a stack of old newspapers. The MBA is so light that his wife unknowingly threw it out with the rest of the papers when she was cleaning. The world is going mobile and wireless so I think it's going to be more popular than most people think. It's been Apple's bestselling laptop for the last few weeks.

Totally agreed. What if I want to add both a mouse as well as a USB stick (or another combination of multiple peripheral devices connected to a USB port) at the same time? Either you'll have to get a USB hub, but that takes up space and it would be annoying to move the laptop with all sorts of things hanging from your computer, or you'll have to live with the fact that you can only use one at a time. Although I understand that a MacBook Air is not supposed to be stand-alone but rather work with a network, a the idea of a laptop is essentially portability so eventually you'll find yourself at a place where you do not have access to a network and then you're out of luck if you need to load something through an optical read media. Lightweight is good, but not by sacrificing (important) features. Side: Thin is in
