That's also weird/misinformed stuff to say the least:

> Backspace and delete?

The Air has a backspace key, and a forward delete can be achieved via Fn-backspace (on OSX at least)

> F keys?

Of course, 12 of them

> Mouse buttons?

Yes, two.

> Price?

Same price category as most other ultrabooks.

Fn-backspace is no good. You just don't "get" the almighty Thinkpad.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say, and what the reference is about.

Is Fn-Backspace sub-optimal for forward deletion compared to a dedicated key? Sure. But it's there.
