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?

The SZ isn't in the same category. It's not as thin, not as light.
I love it. To show that the Air isn't really that expensive people compare it to the price of a lighter, more expensive 11.1" Vaio TX. But when one points out that the 13.3" Vaio SZ is cheaper than the Air it's "not in the same category". If the SZ isn't in the same category as the Air, then neither is the TX, and it is disingenuous to make the Air's price seem less by comparing the two.

I'm not saying that I'm likely to be satisfied with a MacBook Air (I wouldn't), but, as far as features and price go -- it's actually very competitive in its market segment.
People keep comparing this to Sony's very expensive 11.1" notebook. Why? The better comparison is their 13.3", 3.8 pound Vaio SZ. Whose base model has better features than this Air and is $1400.
