It's about time they made a cheap air; I bought a new low-end macbook for my daughter when school started, but I probably would have bought one of the 11-inch airs for this price instead. It's smaller, lighter, and it doesn't have a CD/DVD drive to ignore. I wonder if I could get away with traveling with one of these instead of my macbook pro? I can almost do that with my ipad, but not quite; this has more capability but it still needs built in 3G to do everything I need...hmm?
