Well, a bigger screen would be nice, yes. I would be better off getting a nice 17 inch Macbook Pro that's way faster and still thin. The main thing is the price. If the SSD version were as much as a Macbook and not the Macbook Pro, then the Air would be tizight. For now, it's just crazy expensive, but oh so pretty. I would love it to have an **extra USB port (USB 3.0 would be stupendous... if it were widely available NOW). I think that's it... I mean, if I were to use it as my second machine, then it would need some **faster processing power (2.2GHZ+), a bigger SSD (128GB+), and some **more RAM (4GB... or even 6GB!!! haha). The screen isn't a big deal, but it would be nice. The keypad was a bit odd, mixing aluminum with black. It should all be consistent and pretty, with the same style of sturdy key's, but in aluminum. For a pretty machine to take around with you, it's fine. I would use it to display work to clients and as a toy for web, email, chat, and (some) music. With just a second or even third USB port and cheaper price, I would be a happy pappy. Everything else is fine, it's supposed to be a convenient, highly portable, light, and beautiful mini machine.
