Those who wished for a revival of the 12" Mac notebook complained that 13" was just too wide and tall for an airplane coach seat, those who wanted it for cheap complained of the price, especially the SSD version. But folks were up in arms, or in love just a bit too early for Valentines Day. It didn't replace the MacBook or MacBook Pro line of computers, it's simply a new option for those who need or love ultra-light computers. And at the sweet spot of 13", the Air is mainstream ultraportable: its light and small but still usable. It makes the Sony X505, that once incredibly sexy, thin and expensive notebook (two varieties sold for $3,000 and $4,000 back in 2004!) look dated and chubby. Indeed it's hard to imagine a notebook could be so thin. For the January 2008 MacWorld trade show in San Francisco, Steve Jobs announced the world's thinnest notebook. Such is Apple's ability to engage the emotions. When a new notebook model or line comes out, it rarely raises a cacophony of debates between lovers, haters, pundits and grandmas. Both have Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs and NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics.
