If thinner == lighter, then I am.

I want something I don't even notice in my shoulder bag when I commute. Battery life is good enough, performance is good enough (and can boost a bit when the machine is plugged in).

You sound like you might be in the market for a workstation-replacement thinkpad.

Thinkpads do not have OSX. Apple has 3 lines of MacBooks, the MacBook, the MBP and the MBA, why can't they have different focus?

It's true that they seem to be more differentiated on price than on target market, with the MB and the Air being "entry level". Not that there is an MB any more.

Particularly the Air is weird, it's not a lot slimmer or lighter than the 13" pro now, but it is a lot less powerful. It's a weird market segmentation (to my eyes).
