I was wondering what this holds in store for the MacBook Air.
I've been thinking the same thing.
I really like the idea of the MBA, but with it's relatively low powered processor, I think the 'Pad encroaches on it's turf somewhat.
But the MBA runs a full OSX, so I'd like to see it beefed up a little.
The MBa is low powered, as compared to the iPad? Not even close.
The MBA will run rings around the iPad. It has a 1.8-2.2 GHz Core2 Duo with a 1067 bus speed and 2GB built-in RAM. The iPad has a low-power 1GHz single core chip of unknown provenance with what will probably be slower memory speed and certainly lower RAM capacity.
