I did look at the Air and think “wow. a replacement for the old girl” but who needs one when my existing machine fits the bill so well.

So it *DOES* work – brilliantly. It cost me $650 NEW 4 years ago, has twice as many USB ports and I can run things like, uh, MS Office 2007 with the ribbon interface which I love and you can't do natively on the Air.

Beats the pants of the Air as far as I'm concerned!

Who cares if SHARP or WHOEVER had already made the true “first” thinnest computer IF THEY DID NOT WORK?
What is the point of having something that is useless and horribly ugly? What is the point of having a product that will be of no use to the customer?
Unlike the Apple MacBookAir, the operating system of these computers made them totally unreliable and user UNFRIENDLY.
It's like claiming to have made the tallest building but it fell down, or the fastest aeroplane but it crashed?
Unless one can put the devices CREATED – no matter what they are – to USE (and I mean, reliability, functionality, and above all, affordability) than both SHARP and KENELLO should hide their heads in embarrassment.
The Apple product not only looks good, but, is both reliable and affordable – and the technology that surrounds the MacBookAir is just phenomenal.
Apple, with this item, has leaped frog everyone and has left them far far behind.
Well done, Mr Jobs, you have again left Mr Gates and his cronies gaping for air.
