For those of you looking to jump on the Macbook Air bandwagon, why not save yourself $5 plus $100 in tax, then head over to Amazon to order the bottom of the line laptop configuration:

* 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4 MB shared L2 Cache
* 2 GB (two SO-DIMM) 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM; 80 GB 4200 rpm parallel ATA hard drive
* USB 2.0 port, a headphone jack, and a micro-DVI port that supports DVI, VGA, composite, and S-video output
* Built-in AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi wireless networking (based on IEEE 802.11n draft specification); IEEE 802.11a/b/g compatible, built-in Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)
* 13.3-inch (diagonal) glossy widescreen TFT LED backlit display, 1280 x 800 resolution; Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard

Update: My apologies, I guess in my excitement I thought you saved $50 on this unit, but actually it’s only $5. Regardless, I’m opting for this Amazon version since I can save myself the $100 in ridiculous tax.
