So many reviewers said that MBA is a nice secondary computer but would not rely on it as their main one. Now all of a sudden many are saying that it's the "sexy" laptop to have so go with your heart, not with your head. Read David Pogue's review this week for that gem as he said that his head today would tell him to buy a MBP but his his heart says to go with the sexy MBA.

The $999 Macbook gave you 10 hours of battery, 250 GB storage, 2.3 GHz processor, 2 USB ports, an ethernet port, and a 13" screen.

The $999 MBA has up to 7 hours of battery, 64 GB storage, 1.6 GHz processor, 2 USB ports, and a 11" screen.

MBA is great for travel but you're getting less computer for the same money for those who want the cheapest Macbook. The reduced battery life and having no optical drive is a turn off for me. No ethernet port? I don't want to rely 100% on wireless connection. It can be slower.
