Thx.
Netbooks don't have a Core i5 cpu - there is no real Windows competition for the Macbook Air laptops.
It's simply whether this is the best deal for the product offered.
I have no interest in the ramblings of non-Mac users as to whether this better than a PC. If you're not interested in a Mac - don't comment, go down to PC World and share your 'insight' with a sales assistant instead - I'm sure they will be as interested in your views on the Mac v PC debate as the rest of us!

I don't agree. If I chew a piece of chewing gum and then offer the chewed remains on the www for £100,000, by your definition that would be a bargain because it's the only piece of chewing gum available that has been chewed by me. That's just taking your argument to its logical, but absurd, conclusion. So, yes, looking for bargains does definitely involve comparison with alternatives.

It's irrelevant comparing this to anything other than its previous price and competitors pricing. Comparing prices of these Mac's to Windows PC's is like comparing bananas and oranges - they're different prices, always have been and always will be.
I don't think comparisons are TOTALLY irrelevant as it depends if you want a mac for showing off or for a real reason. That's why - as I've said umpteen times before - that 2 votes would be helpful. One for deal and one for worth it!
Do you think apple would take me on as a marketing executive?

Well my computer "surfs the net, does some documents", so is that a netbook too?
The macbook air is more comparable to ultrabooks.
The ssd, i5 processor, battery life, and design is much more comparable to an ultrabook.

There are so many ultrabooks out there, how can you say there is no real Windows competition?
There's a distinct difference between an apple laptop/netbook and your pre-chewed chewing gum. No one wants your pre-chewed gum (and/or your germs).
Pls don't make yourself sound so stupid. Show us any netbook which are 300 quid which are on par with the MacBook Air??? I'm not saying MacBook Air is cheap, but if you want to compare EasyJet and BA, then it shows that you are just plain dumb. Period.
Find me something the size of a netbook that comes with a Core i5 processor and the same build quality as this for £300, and I'll buy two of them. Seriously.
Anything you can get for £300 will either be a netbook and have an Atom which is MILES behind an i5, or it'll be some clunky "Pentium" (budget CPU) or perhaps if you're very lucky an i3 laptop. If it's the netbook it'll be roughly as small, not as thin, and a damn sight slower, and if it's the laptop it'll barely be any faster than the netbook, except a lot larger. But fear not, it would come with an optical drive! Because everyone needs those these days! *cough cough*
Seriously bonkers.
EDIT: Back when the Macbook Air was released I would have agreed with you. At the time it had an underpowered CPU and indeed didn't offer a great deal more than a netbook except being thinner and I imagine a much better keyboard, and I think they were £1000+! These days however Macbook Airs are serious contenders for your main laptop/computer.
