[QUOTE="Jaygray, post: 644976, member: 50033"] Isn't the HD on the Air significantly smaller? I think it's 80gb. If you partition off 30gb for Bootcamp/Windows and Leopard takes up 10-15gb (just guessing on that figure) over half your HD is filled without ever turning the thing on. I'm not sure I would go for an 80gb drive if I was planning on also installing Windows... Also, while MBA is thinner, it doesn't necessarily take up a smaller footprint that a basic MB. It's just a centimeter thinner. If you traded in your 200 page spiral bound notebook for a 100 page model, this would make up for the centimeter of extra width required in your backpack (and the 2 lb weight difference). Personally, I'd suffer with carrying the extra centimeter and 2 lbs around and save the $700. (I guess if I'm going to measure the width with the metric system, I should convert the weight as well. What is 2 lbs? Almost a kilogram? ) [/QUOTE]
