Pundits <A href="http://twit.tv/mbw73">like Leo Laporte and crew</A>, <A href="http://daringfireball.net/2008/01/macbook_air">John Gruber</A> and thousands more cite the following MBA shortcomings: the small hard drive, the price, the omission of a built-in Ethernet port and optical drive, the irreplaceable battery and even the exclusion of a Kensington security slot. Others correctly point out that the Air requires more compromises than notebooks in the same class made by Dell, Lenovo and HP (<A href="http://www.prweekus.com/HP-selects-Edelman-to-spearhead-PSG-comms/article/104339/">our new client</A>). </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.micropersuasion.com/2008/01/the-macbook-air.html"><P>The success or failure of this product is important to watch because it's a harbinger of just how much appetite consumers and business people have for cloud and remote data storage. Much more than Apple hangs in the balance here.
