Personally I wouldn't want that. In my experience, the laptop should always have lower specifications than the desktop. When I first switched to Mac I used an iBook G4 as my main computer for three years, and it is not something I want to do again. I have found that my ideal setup is a reasonably powerful desktop and an older laptop. For example, right now I have a 20" Intel iMac, and if I wanted to upgrade my 17" PowerBook G4 to a 17" MacBook Pro, my only option would be the very first model, since it has the same specifications as my desktop. If I got a more powerful MacBook Pro, or one with the 1920x1200 screen, I would start using the laptop more than the desktop, and then I would be back fighting with the limitations of having a laptop as my main computer. That's why my plan is to upgrade to a 27" iMac in about a year and possibly get an older used MacBook Pro sometime after that. Of course, with all the limitations of the MacBook Air it probably wouldn't be so easy to use it as a main computer, but there would definitely be a speed increase from PowerPC to Intel which would make you want to use it more often.
