but what if you want to watch a movie on that long layover? oh shit now you gotta pull out the external dvd drive, plug it in and have somewhere to sit that

compact = yes
practical = no

divx FTW. Even if you have a notebook w/ dvd drive, divx uses less battery. Either that or rip the whole dvd to your hard drive.

If I had the Air, I would probably break it in a week. h:
