    Hi,

    I saw a macbook air for the first time and really want it

    I just love how light and portable it is and the battery length.
    I work in technology, I know It doesnt do anything that a 400 euro laptop wouldn't do.
    My question is, has anyone come accross another laptop which is as sleek and skinny and light which I could consider as a replacement?

    You do not it doesn't use windows so it't nothing like your used to. If you work in IT you may get used to bootcamp.

    Have you tried searching through the Ultrabook recommendations that have been made here so far?

    Vizio Thin + Light. Aluminum, thinner, better, longer battery life and a helluva lot cheaper.

    That's what I would consider a replacement, dunno about you tho.
