The grandparent post was talking about all-day battery life, not about horsepower or ports.

But I don't see that being realistic, yet, because (a) the new MacBook has less battery life than the 13" Air, (b) OS X is messier than iOS (system daemons love to run at 100% CPU once in a while), (c) as you said, almost everyone is a casual Facebook user and runs terrible crap like Flash. (iOS is at an advantage here again)

But yeah, it is a great device for people who only open their laptops occasionally and can recharge at night.
