-You can't put CD's in them
-They cost too much
-They're slower
-They aren't that much smaller

You'd be better off financially and you'll have a better computer if you just go for the entry-level MacBook for $1100 or however much it costs. I spent a long time looking at these things at work and came to a conclusion right after comparing a MB Pro and a MB A. MB Pro's are slightly heavier, not much bigger, and you can put CD's in them and the straight out MacBooks aren't a whole lot different. Way better IMO.

How so, corporate tends to be PC? Or is it a "hey, I've got an air" check me out type of thing?

jryoung, I'd say the latter.

The air is a really, really cool product. I would never buy one, as it involves far too many compromises for the inflated price. Still, very neato-cool.

No matter, just keep on buying them. My brother and his wife like their job security. Laughing
