The whole point of the Air is that it doesn't weigh very much. It weighs the same as a netbook but is much more powerful.
Look at it this way: a 13" Macbook Pro weighs a whopping 50% more and all you get is a CPU that's a little faster, bigger harddrive and an optical drive, which many people don't need. I don't think I've used the optical drive in my MBP 13" for anything other than the OS X system disk once or twice.
You can make the iMac or the heavy MacBooks more powerful, but they will still won't be as portable as the Air.
