What can you do with a MacBook Air?

Love the black keyboard. Was hoping more for the comeback of the 12in PowerBook tho, the one with the keyboard touching the edge of the notebook.
Steve kept pointing to how thin the thinnest part is. I wonder if there’s actually any useful hardware in those thin thin parts of the laptop. I’d be happier if the whole thing had a smaller footprint. Imagine carrying a Trombone around. Some nice guy on the street comes and machine-press your Trombone into a flat piece of metal. You marvel at how thin it has gotten, but after thanking the guy and go on with your way, you realize it’s still hard to carry. It still doesn’t fit inside your backpack. Plus it doesn’t sound as nice anymore when you play it. That’s the MacBook Air. Except, it still looks awesome.
One more misconception of a new Apple product
I notice a loot of people that don’t understand the MacBook Air concept, they simply think in a common NoteBook and compare what MacBook Air don’t have.
This isn’t a correct way to understand this new solution. MacBook is a kind of “Mac AnyWere” with hardware included, like a portal, you use it to stay in touch with our iLife experience every were, your photos, musics, documents, major applications, data, wherever you have on your Home or office Mac your will have any were without interaction limitations like keyboard, mouse or screen.
I don’t know anyone that use a NoteBook to produce a professional animation, movie, magazine or picture, this is work for a workstation like the name says.
A day-by-day of a typical user don’t really involve load or burn a CD or DVD and use a lot of peripherals, even if it is the case now we have BlueTooth, and like USB was a improbable hardware revolution 10 years ago the BlueTooth will be right now. Today wireless is a reality, we don’t need anymore a blue cable arresting us.
Finally why walk away with things that we will not use and only bother you?
Thinking in this way is clear that MacBook Air is a perfect solution not for the future but for today.
