Steve Jobs’ MacBook Air unveiling has met with mixed responses - from those who think it’s the best thing ever (and would have thought that about practically anything Steve Jobs had unveiled) to those who don’t quite see the point (me included).

Yes it’s an amazing piece of engineering, and shows the massive clout Apple have within the industry when they can persuade Intel to go back to the drawing board to redesign their Core 2 chips, but to me it seems like there are too many other compromises to make the Air seem a wise purchase at this time - unless you really need to send a laptop through the post in as thin an envelope as possible.

Another tip pointed out by MoneySavingExpert.com…

Amazon operate a rather strange refund policy - if you buy something and then find that they have reduced the price within 30 days then you are entitled to contact them and ask for a refund of the difference so you basically pay the new lower price.

This is obviously a good time of year to be finding this out as a lot of people would make purchases in December prior to Christmas only to now see the goods in the inevitable January Sale.
