The Macbook Air is not a hot button for me either.
However . . .
The technology built into it represents Apple's first bleeding edge
implementation of touch screen technology on the Mac, just not in
the way people were expecting. I think it's shear genius to implement
the "gestures" on a modified touchpad (trackpad), giving you a taste
of some of the same gestures folks use on their ipod touch and
iphone . . . without all the fingerprints on your display.

With all the media attention, it seems most people are aware of the
"Air". I have had three calls from PC users this week seeking
information, and have had numerous discussions with Mac users. I
couldn't in any instance recommend Air as a solution to any of the
PC inquiries, but all three "bought a Mac" this week. (Macbook, 17"
Macbook Pro, and a 24" iMac). On my advice, another client is on a
road trip to the Apple store today to compare all models hands on.
All this interest created by a niche market device—comparable in
utility to having a sexy underpowered sports car in garage—but all
the marketing and products work together to create a 'buzz". Vista
didn't hurt either ;)
Your impressions?
