MacBook Air

If the MBA had come with an embedded 3G chip with a pricing plan like the iPad I am sure I would already own one. Once you have the instant always connected iPad it is really hard to give that up. Without that the MBA is more "stay at home" than always with me.

Once Apple have sorted a way to use the iPAD outside your home country I might agree. Instant, always connected starts to sound like a bitter joke outside the UK.
I wouldn't mind paying - it simply doesn't work grrrrr
I've done trips to Holland, Belgium, Italy and France in the last month, and the iPAD has been useless each time . .. . and if you have to find wireless then the MBA is just fine!

Maybe this is a good case for a mifi unit sold by Verizon, Sprint and maybe others. Verizon just announced a "4G" network with dongles.

. . . . and it works whichever country you happen to be in at the time?

oops! 4gb; not 4mb.

This reminds me of the early 1990s when I had a Mac SE with 2mb of RAM--if I recall correctly. ("Times, they be a changin.")
