Well, you can get 2gb for an extra $90. It's true that the processor is slower, and as for graphics I don't think that much matters for a 12" laptop. I don't play 3D games, and have used nothing but low-end integrated graphics for several years, with absolutely no problems.
How 'bout the Lenovo X61 then? Seems like a killer deal to me. $1100 with 2gb, and a faster processor than the MacBook Air.

Well, if you actually want to use OS X, then there's no reasoning with you
