One thing I just realized about the new MacBook Airs: The 11" and 13" models max out at the same processors and hard-drive space. With the previous generation, if you wanted the fastest processor and/or the largest SSD you had to go with the 13" version. That's no longer the case- and somewhat uncharacteristic for Apple.
Prices are similar- a maxed out 11" Air is $1649 while a maxed out 13" Air is $1699. For $50 you get a larger battery and a higher resolution screen but of course more weight and a larger footprint. But I like the idea that you can get a computer that's just as powerful from a computational point of view in a smaller package.
