As if a person owning a Macbook Air has a choice?

If you want choice then you shouldn't be owning a Mac anyway.

That's less than 1/4 of 1% of the space on a 64GB MBA, and it replaces files, not just adds to them, so I really wouldn't worry about it.

Seriously thinking about one of these. Small yet way more powerful than iPad.

Off-topic a bit, yes, but that's what I did. I dumped my iPad for a MacBook Air, and I haven't even thought about touching the iPad ever since. It's been a few months now. Sure, they're two different device, but for the things that I used my iPad for, the Air handles perfectly, too.
