Not saying there isnt even better ultra portables but it is nice to finally see someone go after apple the way they like to go after PC's.

HP has the nicest "thin" laptop out right now, the HP Voodoo Envy 133.

But thin doesn't matter, bulk does. A paper-thin 22" laptop is bulky whereas a modestly-sized 9" Eee isn't.

Ah... Now it's time for me to let somthing slip.
Very recently I was contacted by apple (mak knows the full story) an I was show the air at a meeting I attended an had a QnA about it, What most people done realise is it's a ultra portable most task's carried out on the road away from the office only require the PC an not a optical drive. That is why it wasnt included in the Air.

The lack of an optical drive isn't a big deal, really. My Eee doesn't have one, and I don't miss it.

What is a problem is paying an arm and a leg for something that, at the end of the day, is still just as unportable as a normal laptop.
