If you can say the same about yourself, an iPad probably won’t replace a laptop for you.
Those are my exact thoughts on the MBA - it won't replace a laptop for you. Or in a slightly different context, I think most Kenyan/African techies who own a MBP use it as their primary machine, their workhorse computer. The MBA can not (and I think it is not intended to) replace this machine. The MBA is a 2nd machine, much like an iPad. Which one would you choose for your second machine?
I currently use a MBP 15" as my primary ( == sole) system. The screen size has become a limiting factor with the applications that I currently use, and I am considering moving back to a desktop system. If I had the luxury of getting a second system, the MBA would definitely suit the bill as a majority of the apps I use are not available (and would not run) on an iPad. If I had the $$$, I would just buy a Brabus iBusiness luxury sedan and kill all birds with one stone [http://tinyurl.com/2bopcee]. ~glenn
