I'm actually leaning towards getting the Macbook Air. I was very hesitant when it first came out due to the small hard drive, but now they have upgraded the hard drive to 120 GB and given it the same upgraded graphics card as the Macbook. As for ports, I rarely use any of them on my current PC. Once in a while I use a USB flash drive, but that's about it. So I doubt the lack of ports will bother me any. And as for the lack of a DVD/CD drive, I rarely use that too. I can always use that disc sharing mode if I want to install something from a CD.

I do have one question though for any of you who use iTunes and an iPod. I have read that I cannot use the disc-sharing mode to burn music CDs into iTunes. A family member of mine has a mac, and I could always burn the music CDs into iTunes on that computer. Does this present any problems if I want to then transfer those files to my Macbook Air? Will I run into any issues? I've heard that iTunes is very picky about letting you copy content, but do those same rules apply to files you have burned directly from a music CD? Or will it be as simple as just copying the music files to a flash drive and moving them over to the Macbook Air?

I want to make sure this is easy enough before I get a Macbook Air since I have quite a large music collection and want to be sure I can get the music onto the Macbook Air without the need for a USB CD drive.
