It's a computer, a tool that does tasks, not a piece of furniture or art. I understand that most Apple users don't see it that way.

This is what I find almost all Mac vs. PC debates break down into. Some people see value in design, some do not. Neither are correct because it just boils down to personal preference. When I'm using a computer it is very important that things look a certain way. Many of my friends make fun of me for that, many agree completely.
As for the macbook air, I really am not a fan. Truthfully I haven't used one (I've only looked at specs). This comes back to the netbook argument for me. Portability is very important, but in my eyes the air gives up way too much functionality and power to get to that size. Somebody who has a great need for such portability would of course disagree, that's just how I see it.
