Add the 64GB SSD drive and it’s extremely prohibitive. No optical drive. This means you have to beg others to let you install a software Apple gave you on their PC so you have access to their drive. No ethernet port. That makes the Remote Disk software useless if the PC you’re trying to connect to doesn’t have wireless. Only 1 USB port. So you’ll need a USB hub, one more thing to carry around… that’s not portability Battery not user Replaceable Unlike 99% of other laptops out there, the battery is not user replaceable. Mono Speakers The built in speakers on the Macbook Air are weak and sound airy (sorry) from the hands-on videos so far. Worst of all, they’re mono, not stereo! Are we back in the 90s? Fixed RAM The Macbook Air ships with 2GB of RAM by default. This RAM is onboard though, meaning there is no option to upgrade or to add more RAM. Slow Processor 1.6 C2D by default is amongst the slowest Core 2 Duo processors you can get. Slow 1.8? Hard drive The base model comes with a 1.8? hard drive. As most computer enthusiasts know, 1.8? hard drives top out at 4,200rpm It’s too expensive. Add the 64GB SSD drive and it’s extremely prohibitive.

Can I buy your bridge, too? Accept PayPal? The movie downloads sounds good, but what's with the 24 hour rule? Should be at least a week.

It not only has DVI out, it also has VGA out and optional s-vhs/component. No wonder you put up with what Mr. Gates is feeding you in the rear one BSOD at a time. God you’re dense.
