I don't actually see anything about the MacBook Air that makes it worth $1800 or even $1000. Or $800. Or $500. I'd rather just get an eeePC or CloudBook...this thing is a royal ripoff.
And $1300USD for a 64GB SSD is a major ripoff. That's nearly all lining the pockets of Stevie and his buddies, and that's just wrong.
I think that this year's MacWorld solidifies what I've been saying for awhile: Apple's gotten too big for its panties. Stevie's ego has taken the place of any semblance of sanity Apple has displayed in the last few years.
As far as I'm concerned, Apple's glory days of the late 90s and early 2000s are over. The G4 iMac was the last truly innovative piece of hardware they produced...it's all been downhill since then.
