The form factor of the Air is hard to beat, but I've got a pretty slim Toshiba notebook for which I paid $500. Give me an additional $1,100 and I could turn it into a pretty sweet ride, too, with a processor upgrade, more RAM, SSD, etc.
It speaks to the fact that, just like was seen during the early days of the iPod, part of the allure of owning an Air is simply the "cool" factor. There's nothing intrinsically useful about the "cool" factor; it simply impacts the way the owner feels.
