Don't hate me because I'm beautiful

The more I travel the web, reading the reviews and commentary on Macbook Air, the more amused I am.
It seems that almost nobody likes the machine, and yet everyone wants to tell you why they won't buy it. The lack of external DVD drive. The inability to expand RAM. The slug-like processors. The lack of Ethernet. And so much more!
Thing is, I think they are already charmed by the thing and want to figure out excuses not to buy it. That's fine; I suspect I will buy a MacBook Pro instead, when the new model finally comes out. But the Air is still a brilliant engineering achievement, and I could see all sorts of reasons to use it and times when I might really enjoy having such a machine.
In particular, that solid state memory system handles like a giant iPhone, waking up from sleep literally instantly. I could get addicted to that.
Maybe they can come up with a MacBook Pro featuring a SSID operating system disk.
In the mean time, I would not be surprised to see a few of those people who will not ever, under any circumstances, buy one sneaking around the city with manila envelopes and a pocket bulge looking suspiciously like a battery charger ...
You can't fool me!
