Still no Gigabit Ethernet adapter ?!? Even with the thunderbolt port ? Come on Apple, you can do better .... Apart from that slight pet peeve of mine, those looks like really great replacement for my now aging MacBook unibody.

This is surely a nice update. But I _really_ miss configuration options. The only option seems to be 1.7GHz i5 -> 1.8GHz i7 No choice of flash no choice of ram :/ I love my current air. It's a really nice piece of engineering but even 4GB of ram are sometimes full. With an more powerful CPU more RAM would be a nice choice... TB, Backlit KB and a faster CPU are very nice though.
While I'm sure this is nice, I don't have a compelling reason to upgrade from my existing MBA (and I really wanted to!). I'd have loved to have seen 8GB RAM as an option.
I have a current MBA, and I find 2GB very limiting when running eclipse, tomcat, photoshop and firefox. 4GB will be very nice. Also, a second USB port! Oh, the luxury!

but no dedicated graphics card
That 13" Macbook Air is looking really attractive as a portable work computer. Any downsides I should be aware of?
This is because the Thunderbolt and power ports are next to one another on the MBP, but on the Air they're on different sides of the machine, which is going to make it a lot less elegant.

You must have the original? I have the Air that was available yesterday and it has 2 USB ports and 4GB RAM.
