I've got a white MacBook. I've found it felt a little bit too flexible, it always showed up the dirt. and the trackpad worn to a very shiny dull yellow in only a few months.

Couple weeks ago I bought the new aluminium Macbook, and have no regrets, this feels so solid compared to my white MacBook. Performance is so much better, and I don't expect the multi-gesture glass trackpad to get worn down like the older MacBook.

FYI you can always turn off tap to click.

IMO the Air is a very expensive executive toy. Totally overpriced for what you get. 1 USB port and NO ethernet port !! Come on Apple what was you thinking when it comes to connectivity? Even 'ultramobile' netbook computers have 2 or 3 USB ports, ethernet and cardreader slots.

The Air should at least have an ethernet port for use in hotel rooms etc. After all the Air is intended as a mobile device is it not ?

Apple advertised the Air for its wireless capabilities, not for how it still can be connected with Ethernet cables.

IMO that makes it not that much good as a travelling laptop Because a lot of the hotel rooms I've stayed in, have an ethernet jack in the wall but no wifi in the room itself.

Yeh I know you can get USB to ethernet dongles.

I still stand by my original comment about in its current form its an 'expensive executive toy'.

For the benefit of everyone reading this, I'm not an Apple hater, as I have an older MacBook Pro and an aluminium unibody MacBook. But I'm not a fanboy of all Apple products.

Well no one said that everyone's suited for the MacBook Air.

True, it would be a lot better if it had more ports, but Apple was mainly trying to target people that want a thing laptop, and not necessarily an adequate ultraportable.

To be honest, most people with the Air use it as their secondary, and perhaps even a tertiary computer. It's all about the image.
