I suppose that if you were looking to buy a laptop with the sole purpose of being your DS, an Air would get on your list for the hardware (unibody construction, long-lasting battery, MagSafe cord to prevent trips to boost your Safety Award cred). Not saying it'd be everybody's choice.

(We used our programming mentor's daily-driver 15" (or was it 17"?) HP laptop as our driver station this year. Considering that it was in about eight pieces at one point at Championship, I'm not sure he'd let us repeat that.)
