Hi.

Precisely, the Mac Book Air is very expensive for what it is.  You can
do exactly the same as you can do on the air with a netbook that costs a
third of the price.  OK, the Air does have some redeeming features such
as its thin stylish design, but in almost every other respect its vastly
inferior to its cheaper windows-based counterparts.

All the best, Ibrahim.
