Another gushing review from the Mac fanbois.

PC users can have their pick from a wide range of models in the Ultrabook category including the UX21 from Asus and they are very competitive with the Air.

Linus is right. I have one, and there is nothing else on the market to compare.

Until you’ve owned a Mac laptop, you don’t really appreciate the quality difference in the hardware. It’s night and day.

I have an Acer netbook dual-booting Windows 7 Pro and Linux Mint 12 that pretty much has all the advantages that Linus is talking about. I bought a nine-cell battery for it that gives me over 8 hours of uptime.

For those concerned with the form factor, size, and weight, and that’s a perfectly legitimate concern, my Apple sources inform me that Apple is about to come out with smaller and yet very powerful computers that will exclude the keyboard and have something like a virtual keyboard on the touch sensitive screen itself. Like, WOW! man.
