^Not that I know of. But if you can do with 13.3 inches, there are lots of options.

That seems really good. But I found the Macbook Pro to be too heavy (2.04kg). Ideally I would prefer something around 1.7kg. Those 300 grams between the Vaio S and SE are the heaviest 300 grams I have lifted. I mean they make a huge difference in terms of load on back, according to my experience (may differ from person to person).

Sorry I missed this thread earlier somehow. Congrats! The Air is fantastic really. I so wanted it, but I couldn't justify spending so much for what is essentially a netbook. Anyway congratulations again.

How is its trackpad on Lion?

 

[red dragon]

Thank you sir!
Trackpad is ok.It is a good machine,would have been great if the battery was little better.
I have not used it much,my wife loves it very much and I rarely get to use it.
I am stuck with my old and heavy MBP.
