      Who thinks up these names, maybe there's some software that does it. What's next 'Eveo'?

      Except MBA has a 50% faster processor and GeForce 9400m for the same price (though you lose the SSD).

      Too bad you only get four ports total - including power and headphones...

      Fancy euro-sounding name means "grossly overpriced", no matter if it's laptops or condo complexes or coffee sizes. Venti anyone?

      #10 1.4+ %50 = 2.1 not 8 Learn to do some basic math. Oh wait, I forgot mac fanboys are art major. It's okay that you can add or multiply.

      #13, it says that the $1499 model comes with the 1.2 GHz Core 2 Duo, which makes the 1.86 GHz MBA just over 50% faster... reading comprehension is great, wouldn't you say?

      I could even have called out that the 2.1 GHz MBA with SSD is $1799 - so it has a 50% faster processor for $500 less - but i didn't, because the expensive MBA (and Adamo) are even poorer options than their entry-level siblings.

      #15, no disputes here. ya gotta admit that it'd be nice to have one though - 2-3x the power of a netbook, half the weight of a cheap laptop, decent battery life, too bad they have to cost so much.

      That is a sleek looking machine. Looks like Dell is taking a page out of Sony's book.
