WINNER Apple

So, overall, few would argue: the Apple Air has the edge. If you're looking for an exceptionally light laptop that will last a decent segment of the day away from the mains - and you don't need an optical drive - then it seems the one to go for (we'll hold off full judgement until we've tested it in the PC Pro labs).

For Apple to truly compete with the likes of Sony, however, it needs to provide a wider range of laptops than three.
