Because the concern is low-price and spec, not size.

  Yes, but the MacBook Air addresses the main problem with the "netbook" computers. It has a large screen and keyboard, while still being ridiculously light and thin. So, if you can make netbooks thin and light but still wide (for keyboard and screen), and still cheap, you pretty much eliminate the only remaining argument for more "full featured" laptops. For now, it seems thin, light, and wide is enough of an engineering challenge that it's only possible for expensive notebooks. But it will be interesting to see if that will change.
