Patrick Rhone, on the iPad and the 11.6" Air:
The MacBook Air is fundamentally of a different breed and usage. I write. I research. I curate. I edit. Increasingly, I collaborate with others and do video and audio conferencing. While all of these things can be done on the iPad, for me they are more appropriately done on a Mac.
I’m coming to the same conclusion. Also, be sure to check out his mini-review of the mini-laptop. The bit about re-installing OS X sans language packs is genius.
