Hi,
How is the quality of the sound. I have a very portable Lenovo, but the
internal speaker is not really good for anything, so without external
speakers it is best to use it with headphones.

I have the previous generation MBA -- with an SS drive. It's got
plenty of power for what I do -- mostly reading and writing -- though
it might not be the ticket for someone who is looking for all sorts of
ports, etc. Depends what you will be doing.
It really is astonishingly light. When I first had the thing, I'd
sometimes check the bag when I was heading out just to be sure the Air
was actually inside -- it's that light. At home, it is usually on my
lap, so its lack of heft is a godsend there, too. It's no more
delicate than a normal Macbook, and I suspect the new model will be
quite the same in that regard.
If you don't bring your laptop anywhere and if you generally use it on
a desk, there's probably no good reason for choosing an Air. And if
you've got the need for a Firewire port or something else that the MBA
doesn't have, or if you are constantly using some application that
requires blazing fast processor speed, the Air might not be the most
logical computer for you.
But this thing definitely has its place. For me, that place is right
here on my lap.

than novelty and portability? Personally, I would be worried about it
breaking, etc.
