Design
If the MacBook Air was a celebrity, it'd be Amy Winehouse: flamboyant and skinny, and a magnet for the lenses of papparazzi near and far. It's heavier than the Wind, but the 1.3kg chassis is so eye-meltingly gorgeous you won't care. Who'd have thought aluminium and the ability to fit inside a manila envelope would be the hottest look in 2008? Steve Jobs did, and he struck gold with the Air.
The Wind is pretty, too, but more in a laptop-next-door kind of way. If it were a celebrity, it would be Lindsay Lohan's little sister -- rooting around in Lindsay's wardrobe for an outfit to steal. Its curved edge and pearly-white finish pay obvious homage to the MacBook, and though it doesn't fit the size-zero mould, it's lighter (just 1kg) and more portable than the Air.
Verdict
The Air, by a mile. Sure, the Wind is pretty, but if you really want to look cool in front of your friends, you're going to need the Apple. End of story.
