“The version I purchased was the MacBook Air 13 “ultimate” (this means all the bells and whistles) upgraded processor and ram and SSD size. First I would like to say that I would consider myself a pretty hard core PC guy and have found myself coming around since the purchase of my Ipad last year.
Price: A little on the pricey side but with apple you pay for their sleek and innovative design.
Form Factor: Wow, need I say more. It’s thin, light, and extremely sexy. Because of its lightweight you feel you can take it any where you go work, home, bed, even the bathroom (joke). What you get with this very thin size is: two USB ports, a SD card slot, a magnetized charging adapter and a USB drive to recover your system just in case. What’s missing: CD/DVD burner (one can be purchased or air DVD can be used).
Upon opening the laptop you’re greeted with a high quality screen with crisp resolution a larger than expected keyboard and mouse track pad.
What am I using it for? I think this is the most important part for anyone considering this laptop. Right now I’m using it for everything, YouTube, word docs, pictures and video editing. In my testing I found this computer to very responsive and quick from the instant on to the exporting of videos. I can honestly say this laptop can easily out perform my two year old dual core HP desktop.
To wrap this up I really do like this laptop and think it was an excellent buy I couldn’t be happier. I would defiantly recommend this to anyone in the market for a new laptop but with that said I recommend everyone research very carefully before the purchase of such and expensive item.”

With the money you spent, I would have just gotten the regular MacBook 13". Has everything you're looking for, but just a little heavier. AND they last so much longer than PCs - you'll soon realize. My MacBook Pro's still going strong and I got it in 2006.

I would like to assume you've never held or used a Macbook Air. Until you use it you will always have an incorrect opinion about it. My air is super light weight i can carry it around open with one hand and the INSTANT ON is the best thing since sliced bread. I would suggest going to the Apple store and checking one out. I can guarantee you'll fall in love with it.

I've never owned one, no, but I have used one extensively. I haven't checked out the brand new one so maybe they made some better improvements, cuz at least from my experience one of the first gen macbook airs, weren't all that impressive.

my 2006 mbp is on the blink. I think a machine should last more than 4+ years.

@CharlotteIsCool - The instant on feature is a benefit of the solid state hard drive. From restarting to just closing the lid the feature is always working in some shape or form. What most people talk about is when you close the lid and open it back up your computer wakes up from sleep in a few seconds. Once you go instant on you can never go back to anything else.
