MacBook Air, forget it, get the Toshiba Portege R500!

Seriously, the Toshiba Portege R500 is under 2 lbs, 12.1 screen, built-in DVD player, 3 usb ports, bluetooth, wireless n, a network connection, SD card reader, PC card slot, etc. 10 hour battery life, yup 10 hours.

On a practical tip, the Toshiba R500 truly is a business-class laptop. It's not all that fast but it has everything you need built-in. Why would anyone get a MacBook Air? I guess if you need a toy but don't need to do any work...

Neither is cheap!
