It's hard to imagine it appealing in terms of style to a Macbook Air customer. I had just recently seen a comparison article that included the X220 and Samsung's Series 9. Again without reading the specs, I'd think the latter (which is almost $1700) looks more attractive than the X1, and at 2.88lb has more portability than the X1, which weighs almost as much as the T420s!
