New MacBook Air... what you guys think?

I've always liked the MB Air, but never bought one. I think it would make a great laptop for sitting on the couch and traveling.

The new version is thinner, lighter, faster and cheaper.

Anybody have one?

Had the old one. Hated it. Too thin - overheated all the time.

No backlit keyboard? That might be a dealbreaker for me.

Have the new one. Like it. Love my MBP more. I'm sure I'll get used to it over time, but just doesn't feel as solid, keyboard not quite there, etc. But for carrying, it's awesome.
