I really liked the idea of going to the Air because I want a lightweight laptop, and was willing to sacrifice some of the power.
But it's not actually very much lighter that the current 13" Pro, there's only about 100g in it. It's only a few bucks lighter on the wallet too.
The only way to get a truly light Mac is to get the just-plain Macbook, but that has no thunderbolt so it's a no-go.
I don't want to look at other brands for a work machine, but I am starting to, because some are now offering true quad-core i7's in a package about the weight of the Macbook.
