I think that is exactly the market.

I mean, I don't have the money for it, but thats exactly the sort of laptop I'd want. I don't do a lot of production on my Macbook now - everything big happens on my desktop. My laptop does browsing, light note taking, email, news and works as a secondary display or portable media center occasionally.

For that, the Air works just perfectly. It's light, sleek, and looks beautiful. I think more people than you think use laptops like this - I know if I'm going to spend time working on ANYTHING it won't be on my laptop unless I absolutely have to. But for being on the go, nothing beats it as it gives me access and the usability I need on the go.

So, while I don't plan on buying one I think it's a dandy machine. I'm just pissed its not a tablet.
