No I realized that, but I am just trying to position this as a great compromise of portability (same size as the new MacBook), versatility (USB ports, HD screen, good battery life, processing power of an Air) and price. This is something that doesn't quite exist in the Mac world right now (maybe when the next gen MacBook replaces the Air?). I haven't tried this laptop's track-pad but I suspect this is one feature where Macs still have an edge especially with force-touch. And of course OSX is an irreplaceable feature in and of itself if you're developing for the Apple ecosystem.
