<p>For me, you are paying a premium for the air to have OS X. I made the choice to own a MacBook rather than a Windows laptop because I favored the OS and valued the iLife media utilities.</p>
<p>There are NO advantages in getting a Macbook Air, i repeat, NO!!! This is coming from a mac fanboy. Get a macbook plain and simple. It is much cheaper than the air, and it actually has a CD drive</p>
