Hi, 

Just read a review for the Apple MacBook Air 11in Core i5 notebook at:

This is the closest I have come in ages to being an Apple fanboi, the last time was the release of the iPhone 4 (but I went Motorola Defy in the end).

It looks like and awesome machine due to metal construction, SSD drive, decent power and good battery life. It is also around the $1500 mark at JB Hi-Fi which means it is in the range of plenty of other higher range laptops.

Does anybody know of a Windows machine which is comparable and available in NZ? I think there is a Dell clone somewhere but they are crap about selling there stuff here, you can't get the Streak for example.

That's one thing I like about Apple if they sell it, they sell it here.
