I'd buy a second laptop as light and easy to take along as the Macbook Air is. With WLAN HotSpots popping up everywhere I roam, I don't mind the missing wireless connectivity too much.
It's just the availabe combo of slow harddrives that is killing the device for me :'( According to ArsTechnica's "No Spin" review, not even the SSD option saves you from frequent idling.
