That's my guess as well.
but there is a upgrade to mbp very soon .. and thats whats keeping me from buying the Air right now ... i wanna see what they offer
either way you will be happy! the macbook air is ultra portable for people who carry it around alot and the macbook pro is going to be more bulky. in this case it depends on your life style. Either way i guarantee you happiness i have owned both and the macbook air i enjoy far more due to the size and the firmware allowing for features the macbook pro will most likely not have. Waking from sleep instantly is key for me.

That's right--nice to have a choice. I plan to use my MBA mostly at home but I still want the light weight and simplicity--and it is still a full-feature computer--and mostly likely will replace my iMac for most things.

That's why there is a Macbook Air and a Macbook Pro--as well as the others in the Apple line--and then there is the PC too--lots of options--and one that will be sure to fit your wants, needs, and desires--you just have to make a choice on what fits the best.
so i am guess right now if we can should hold on the MBA purchase .... as there might be a interesting upgrade soon...
I'd wait. I'm still running a 486 because there is always something better just around the corner.
My 13" MBA base processor 4g ram renders filters in CS5 faster then my unibody macbook. It almost renders instantly, never video edit so can't say how it would handle that. Anyway people are already saying skip SB and wait for the next generation of MBA I say buy now it's a big leap from the last version of the air. Skip the negligible upgrade if it happens in march or june, and wait for the next big leap. I won't buy a new one until it can have more than 4g of ram.
But this one is running everything I can throw at it. Plus you don't buy a MBA for specs there seems to be a widening gap. People ether need a maxed out 8gig monster, or they won't even use the MBA to it's max. Nobody I know can find anything that a 13" MBP can do that a MBA won't.

That's really it--just depends on how much you need a new computer. I really want a new Macbook Air but I don't really need it now so I think I'll wait for a bit as it does seem like it could be an interesting update if it does come sooner rather than later. But by all means, if you need a laptop now and are thinking of the Air--buy it.
