The Apple Core: The MacBook Air Has No Clothes
PowerPage head honcho Jason O'Grady has loved his MacBook Air since the moment he received it and has used it continuously since (I would know, since he was at the other end of the phone, anticipating its arrival like a new to-be father pacing outside a maternity ward's waiting area, losing count of how many cigarettes he'd smoked and the stubble on his face).
Now he's telling you exactly how he feels about the light, stylish yet pokey notebook over at The Apple Core.
It's not the news you'd quite expect to hear, especially with other journalists shifting their opinions and snuggling up to the MacBook Air, but it's worth reading, especially if your daily notebook workload gets a bit more involved as time goes on.
Take a gander and let us know what you think over in the comments or forums.

Sorry, but I think he's unthinkingly overtaxing things.
FOURTEEN sites being loaded simultaneously using Flock? I'm not surprised, with all the other junk he's asking it to do at the same time.

I am opening 74 tabs in one browser another 30 in separate browser in Safari & 80 tabs in Firefox to start my day on a MacBook 2GHz with 2GB of memory .. So 14 tabs seems laughable to me ..

A good truthful article. It reminds me of when the Powerbook Duo first came on the scene. As a standalone laptop it was said to be underpowered and lacked essential ports but was good for note taking, some web surfing, but nothing intensive like photo editing. When docked it could go heads up with many of the other computers in the Mac desktop lineup at the time. Maybe that's the direction the MBA is headed?
