Interesting you say that. I have a big Mac at work and and a MacBook Air. A couple of weeks I bought an HP 1000 Mini because it wasn't too expensive and I was thinking I wanted a cheap little netbook for travel. Aside from the obvious Mac vs. XP difference, I have to say that the Air is really a nice experience compared to the HP. Everything from the screen size to the attention to design details. I realize that lots of tradeoffs are made to get to a $400 price point. Suddenly my Air feels like I'm driving a Mercedes Sport.
