I dunno, I used to recommend a lot of relatives -- aunts & uncles, nephews and nieces in school -- buy macbook airs, particularly when they were $900 / $1k-ish out the door.
Now that they're $1400 w/ 16g ram / $1500 out the door, I recommend them to no one. $1.5k is just too much money for a basic laptop.
