The MacBook Air has led to a revolution in the subnotebook market. In the next couple of months we can expect announcements from major manufacturers with practical clones of the MacBook Air. Laptops will become fashion statements (even more so than already), customers will  demand razor thin and manufacturers will have to oblige them.

Also, Intel will be releasing their Montevina 45 nanometer chips which will go into these ultra thin laptops. Anyway, its a net win for the consumer.
