Well, I've just ordered a MacBook Air. My wife has a MacBook Pro which I love and I have held on using an old PowerBook 12". I don't like the MacBook (sorry to anyone who has one) as I find it too heavy and in a tactile way I just don't like it. The MacBook Air looks so cool and will be the light laptop that I've been waiting for. So what if it does have a few things - it has everything I need

I like the one that comes with Linux... ;-)

I've bought a 15" macbook pro (2.16GHz model) and a more recent 17" macbook pro (thanks, work!). I prefer the 17" - it's not that much bigger than the 15, and offers significantly more res even without the 1920x1200 option.<p>I don't think the macbook air would make a great dev machine.

Can I ask a more general question? Which type of notebooks are used around this readership? It's my impression that most of you use MBPs, but what about other Wintel notebooks, maybe running Linux? What computer do you use for 16 hours a day?

None of the above -- get yourself an asus eeepc instead.
