This.
The MBA strikes me as a novelty item more than anything else. It's lighter, and it's thinner, but I don't think those are the issues people want addressed in an ultra-portable. It is the width of the machine that is the most important. Honestly, I think what people wanted was a thinner, upgraded 12" PB, and I think that would have been a better move as well. I can't see any realistic advantage to this machine over the MacBook unless you have some sort of disorder that makes your muscles unimaginably weak or you often have to carry your laptop in a manilla envelope.
