Like an anorexic fashion model, Apple's new super-thin MacBook Air has made too many compromises for the sake of being skinny. With such emaciated specs, many are asking: who would buy it?

Firewire is very, very popular amongst the music and graphics crowd. In fact (being one of them) I'd say the FW is absolutely essential. However, maybe that's not the market Apple are heading for with this. What that market is I'm still not yet sure.
TBH I think the machine is too big. Yes, it's slim but a 13.3" screen (plus bevel) does not make a nice small machine that would fit into a handbag or manbag. For now I'll stick with my (modded) Vaio T1XP.
Only 1 USB socket? This probably will get a bit annoying TBH especially trying to copy data from one external drive to another.
