I happen to own all apple laptops and the macbook air is by far the best out of all three. For the price you actually get a lot. It really is an ultra portable macbook pro. It's powerful and has all the great new features you'd expect to get from any other mac. Now the issues of It looks like you could snap it like a twig, and it has no cd drive and only 1 usb port, etc. Well honestly, who uses 2 usb ports all the time? And if you do get the Kensington 4 usb thing. Also this amazing piece of equipment is made for the wireless world. You really don't need a cd drive and if you do use the superdrive or use someone else's using remote disc. Finally the it could be snapped like a twig. The macbook air is the strongest laptop apple has ever made. Much much stronger than the macbook pro or regular macbook. It really is the best computer I've ever owned. I agree with some comments above but please please do your research before you make comments about a product you don't know about or don't own.

There aren't any designers that are going to be using this unless they just need to touch up or display things while travelling. Who would want to do design on a tiny screen such as the air? This is for business users who don't want to lug around a laptop. While I do think that lack of a media drive is funky, I think it's warranted. Just pick up a USB DVD drive if you really need it. And if you constantly need a DVD drive, don't buy a micro form laptop. Too many people want a AIR thin Macbook pro - that's not the point. If you want a multimedia workstation get a pro or a desktop. If you want a super portable sexy latop/toy - get the AIR. I think it’s actually explicitly for professionals.

There are Macbooks and MacBook Pros for other kinds of use. Check any ultraportable out there, they are very likely to lack optical drives, most have weaker batteries and smaller HD's. Second, what I like about this product is that they didn't just leave stuff out. They invented ways to live without them. That's why they launched the wireless back up device, the external optical drive and the ingenious remote drive -system at the same time. For the functionality that you'd normally need ethernet ports, firewires and optical drives, you now have a wireless alternative. It's not everyone's cup of tea, obviously. With ultraportables you need to make compromises, and I think NOT compromising with usability in terms of screen and keyboard size will win many people over. In addition to the brilliand form factor, of course. First, it’s supposed to be ultraportable. There are Macbooks and MacBook Pros for other kinds of use.
