sadly though I was referring to the price point concerning processor power.

I disagree with several of your points. First, it's a wireless device, and is meant to be such, hence the name. I suspect that few users will have more than one device connected at any given time via USB in general use. For the odd occasion when you need a second USB port, USB hubs are very inexpensive these days, and you wouldn't need to carry it with you all the time. I won't be able to speak about the trackpad until I get my hands on one to check it out in a couple of weeks. The processor is perfectly acceptable. Heck, I've got Leopard running satisfactorily on a Mac Mini PPC with a 1.43GHZ PPC and 512MB of RAM. The processor in the MacBookAir isn't much slower than the 2.0GHZ in my MacBook Black. So I think that, unless you're a power user and need tremendous processor power, you are more than fine with the power of this machine. And, if you are a power user of that description, you're not going to get this device anyway. Josh de Lioncourt [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...my other mail provider is an owl...
