Microsoft wants you to 'do the math'

"Of course, Apple slammed Microsoft many times with the "Get A Mac" campaign, but at least the ads were funny and generally grounded in truth..."

Baloney on the 'truth' comment. Advertising spin is advertising spin. I used to (and still do) watch Apple do it all the time. It's the nature of competitive advertising.

> Oh, and that HP Pavilion DM1 sitting in the middle of the lineup? I'm sure it's nice enough, but it weighs in at 3.46 lbs (1.56 kg) -- 150% as massive as the slender, featherweight 2.3 lb (1.08 kg) 11" Air. How much do you have to save on chiropractor bills before the 'inexpensive' netbook stops being such a bargain?

If you want to make a good argument, don't go over the top and trigger people's irrational fanboi detector. Seriously, this thing doesn't belong in the lineup because it's 0.48kg heavier? And these 0.48kg will cause you to go to a person to destroy your back?

People aren't necessarily buying the MacBook Air because of the hardware or the price. At the end of the day, you want a stable platform that takes away the micromanagement and lets you get to your work.

Wonder why they didn't go all the way with the Air and say "HardDrive: None."
