Laize, don't take offense. We're mostly just joshing.
On the other hand, Apple's 52-week range is $185 to $319.
That's a pretty good swing for a year.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember you thinking that AAPL was a good buy at any entry point.
As for the MBA, it's a very specialized -- or niche if you prefer -- product.
It depends on what you want to pay for extreme portability, long battery life, instant on, and lightness of being in general. (How many times a year do you fly, for example?)
I've got an Aspire One netbook that cost a quarter of the MBA you priced and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Yes, it works, but only in the sense that all cars have starters and run after you engage same.
The difference is in the drive.
