[QUOTE="Chi, post: 735266, member: 69412"] What is the advantage of the MacBook Air over other notebooks or netbooks? I just want to get a light computer for going to lectures or seminars, and the price of the MacBook or MacBook Air is a bit too high! :Oops: Any reason why Apple is selling notebooks at a few times the price of a netbook? And will Apple release a netbook anytime soon? I checked on Amazon, a small Eee PC 2G is around $250 US, and a Eee PC 901 16G (16GB SSD HD, 1GB memory, 8.9" display) is around $330 US. They both are lighter than the MacBook Air. I am used to Windows, and I have some (limited) Mac, Solaris and Linux experience. Anyone here owns both a MacBook and a Eee PC? What is your suggestion?
