Macbook Air for $1k is not a very good tablet, battery life and screen are not as good. It's not immediately clear which one is better. Depends on how you expect to use it. For me, I need developer tools, multiple browser engines, and spreadsheets, so I'm going to be on a laptop or desktop as my main computer for a while yet. That's not true of everyone. Many people can use this as their main machine and there are certain advantages to it.
