Again, just my opinion.

Yeah, thin factor. 3.1lbs is also pretty damn sweet.
My friend is trying to convince me to go with a macbook pro, and I might just end up doing that... however, here are my reasons for a Macbook Air.
1) I have a desktop and a 17" laptop. Aka, I have storage and optical drives APLENTY.
2) My laptop is like 8-9 lbs and gets something along the lines of 10 mins of battery life due to a dead battery. A brand new battery, I might see 2 hours.
3) I want something lightweight and thin that I can take to classes all day, take notes on and at the end of the day plug it back in for the night, and repeat.
The macbook pro does a pretty good job of all that, but at an expense of a little less battery life, and a heavier enclosure.
