It will be a brave person who puts down the considerable £640 for that option, with it's reduced storage capacity. It's clearly the future. I have my doubts, I've tried the iPod Classic, which uses the same drive as the non-SSD MacBook Air and it seems quite laggy. So the first benchmarks will be <em>very</em> interesting.

(note the subtle plug :) It's probably just a matter of time before the other laptop manufacturers in the PC market start removing optical drives too, although security issues will possibly arise from purely wireless installations. But the thing that has us really excited about the MacBook Air is the shift towards solid state hard drives; providing you can shield them from unwarranted EM, they should be emerging soon across many more products. It's really more than just a thinner MacBook - it's a risky and admirable step where no laptop has gone before.
