MacBook Air Wannabe

Ever since I started hackintoshing netbooks with the MSI Wind first then the HP Mini 1000, I've always wanted to think I was creating my own version of the MacBook Air.

But why ever the MacBook Air and not just the MacBook, for example?

Well, this unbelievably thin laptop by Apple and the Asus EeePC 701 can be considered as contemporaries as they were introduced around the same time - early 2008. That and the fact that both's targeted market (people who want to take portable computing to a new level of greater portability) is the same; well save of course for the difference in budget brackets (premium price vs low cost), have made the MacBook Air and netbooks fave subjects of comparison: I bet like me, you've also seen your share of MacBook Air parodies at youtube featuring a variety of netbooks from different manufacturers being pulled out of the signature Manila envelope!

Well, I've set up my MacBook Mini successfully and although doing the same Manila envelope drama is one idea I find alluring, I'm putting it off for some more substantial tweaking. And yes, it's still MacBook Air related.

So my MacBook Mini's moderate specs aren't that bad compared to the Air in relation to my portable computing requirements...what else do I want?
