At least in the current product line, it may not be worth it. There is 1 Air less expensive than the Macbooks - and it's 1.something Ghz processor with 8G Ram and 128G SSD. It's basically unsuitable for anything but light work. If you want more horsepower you're into Macbook territory in terms of pricing. (Of course this is all besides specific concerns over trackpads and touchbars etc.)
