MacBook Air deal-killers
No MBA for me. - maximum 2GB RAM - no user-replaceable battery I run a lot of apps at once. 2 GB is not enough. I run for a long time at conferences, usually without access to power: 5 hours and a single battery is not enough, and I'm sure it's 5 hours "theoretical". It's kinda slow too (1.6GHz vs minimum 2.0GHz for a MacBook). I think I will wait for a MacBook refresh. It should be due for a refresh in June. http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#MacBook I'm not really in the target market - the MB Air is a total roadwarrior laptop. I use my laptop mostly as a desktop replacement, with occasional trips to conferences. It's actually even worse than I thought, Macintouch says "it lacks an Ethernet, FireWire or an Express/34 slot, and its battery is not user-replaceable, nor is its memory expandable."
