Fully true. Just remember that most people either never resell notebook or do it many years after buying.
Progress stalled, so such integrated machines will be actual years ahead.
It is different product with DVD drive and such.
This seems to have better specs and is much cheaper but not as light.

I'd go a step further and say "better than Apple and cheaper." Macbook Airs still have 720p screens, last time I checked, and have no discrete GPU option. I'm definitely interested in the 13" Mi Air when it becomes available in the US.
