online.wsj.com— Apple's MacBook Air is a beautiful, amazingly thin computer, but one whose unusual trade-offs may turn off some frequent travelers.

Off-topic: I read today that the "most insightful" WSJ.com articles would still require a membership. Now, I thought WSJ and Digg had some sort of deal where diggers could view membership articles for free. Anyway, could someone explain what benefit diggers have (if any) when it comes to WSJ.com?
The disk space provided certainly is not ideal for doing so...unless you lug around an external HDD. In which case, you're sacrificing portability, n'est ce pas?
Um yep you guys ARE mactards.Look all these things ( 1 usb port sorry but that is sad) are needed by serious travelers. That need to do presentations, that travel to NY and get off a plane and need to get to a presentation and not worry that they need to plug things in. Not stylish when you have a thin laptop that still has no power.And travelers do not treat things nicely, this thing would never last.They need CD rom when they get to the meeting, they arent going to be handed a USB jey, they are going to be handed a CD that has documents, a deposition, spreadsheets, pictures. They need media outlets for whatever they need to present.They need an ethernet port that is fast to connect to the business network if necessary. (Businesses usually do not attach a wireless access port to their business but instead a cheap non connected DSL connection for visitors- for security reasons)Again all of these things will be available via USB additions but that will add bulk when your traveling ( I mean plane guys not across town)THIS IS A TRAVELING USER !!! Not some f**ktards that are finishing up work at school that think they are doing work. Homework is not a job guys! And traveling to Starbucks for a latte is not a traveling user. OMFG you are tards!
I think it is so cool that you can speak for all business travelers. Obviously with your keen insight and interpersonal skills, you must be a true asset to your organization.Keep up the good work!

If I found 3 grand in a paper sack, I'd run right out and get the one with the SSD just to piss everyone off.

I would buy the Mac Book Air. It seems like a nice light little system.

You have so clearly failed to read the article with anything approaching an open mind. That is f**king hilarious.
