To revive this old thread that I came across quite by accident, I recently got myself the 11.6" MacBookAir - which at 1.06kg is a delight to use, and unlike the ipad has a real os and a full size physical keyboard. I maxed out the RAM, SSD and CPU upgrades since I expect to be using this machine for a while. The very next day after I bought it I came across the Lenovo thinkpad x201 with SSD which is a beautiful machine too, and I would consider it if I was going to run Linux. Cheeni
