Even the original MacBook Air was cheap compared to the competition when it was released, from what I recall, about a $1000 cheaper than a similar Fujitsu-Siemens laptop (both non-SSD models). The funny thing, of course, was that many people were comparing the very expensive SSD model to _normal_ laptops and complaining that it was way too expensive for a laptop.
