I... what? The first Air was underpowered, throttled quickly, didn't even have a backlit keyboard, had a worse screen and was much more expensive than the base MBP. It slightly outmatched the MBP physically and in battery life, but it did not 'kick the shit out of the MBP by every other measure'.

If you're using the metrics that person has outlined (battery life, portability, small form factor, etc.) then the Air would destroy the 17" MBP. Those things are tanks. Not saying I agree, I'll take power over some tiny thing any day. Just pointing out you're reply is targeting all of the wrong things.

He probably means the 2010 or 2011 airs, which is when they "got good"
