I've got a 2011 Air and it's the best machine I've ever owned. I'm not saying making it thinner would make it better, but I DEFINITELY get a huge amount of enjoyment from having a machine that thin vs, say, a 13" or 15" MBP.

I often travel with both the Air and the 15" MBP Retina, and despite the 15" being much faster in every way, and having a vastly better screen, I never use the MBP unless I have to for work. The Air is just so much more convenient to deal with. The size and weight make a HUGE difference.

The fact that I can easily move my MBA around with one hand is the most life changing part of it for me.

I can easily put it on my nightstand, corner table, etc...
