[QUOTE="dalison, post: 599116, member: 48611"] As the others said, if you can get over the backlit keyboard the MacBook may be a good solution. For $1300 you can get a 2.2GHz machine. Go out and buy $300 of upgrades (4GB RAM and 320GB HD). You're now at $1600 and the machine will easily do everything you need. It weighs 5 pounds and gets great battery life. If you are near an Apple store or a Best Buy you may just want to stop by and kick the tires on it. As a primary machine I think the Air is going to leave you missing key features (ability to simply play a DVD will be one of them). You'll need an external drive for that. [/QUOTE]
