Sony crams an i7, a gorgeous 1920x1080 high-gamut display, quad RAIDed SSDs, and an optical drive into a 13.1" 3-lb. package with great battery life. That's impressive.

I love OS X, but I feel like a retard for sticking with Apple hardware when they're outfitting "the next generation of Macs" with the previous generation of processors.

You forgot to compare the price. The "reasonable price" option there is more expensive than the highest price macbook air.

The price I'd be willing to pay for a powerful MacBook Air sickens me.

And I hate to think what more they could include if they weren't so obsessed with the tapered edge. More than 4 GB of RAM? A real SSD? WWAN?
