Thank you Captain Obvious

Why on earth do reviewers continue to compare the newest, ugly, semi-thin notebook with the Macbook Air?! Let me list the reasons to buy a Macbook Air instead of different Apple notebook, a Dell or any other notebook.

1. It is thin. Do people not understand this!? 0.75” - 0.9” is not thin. My Macbook pro is only 1 inch thick. 0.16” - 0.76” is thin.
2. It looks awesome. If anyone thinks that Lenovo notebooks look awesome, they need to be commited.

Those are THE two reasons why people want a Macbook Air instead of something else, including other Apple notebooks. For a notebook to “Eat Macbook Air for lunch,” it has to be thin and look awesome. I can get ports somewhere else. I can get a DVD player somewhere else. If a computer is not thin and does not look awesome IT IS JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER “SUB-NOTEBOOK.” I have a Macbook Pro and I would not use a Macbook Air because I care more about the connectivity and 3D graphics than the size, but if I did care more about size and looks you would be an idiot if you told me the Lenovo X300 is better. Better at what? Better at being ugly? better at being kind-of-thin-but-not-really? Wired says, “Lenovo’s Got a MacBook Air Without the Compromise.” Are you freaking kidding me?! If you are about to say that it has more ports then please, just go home.
