    Wouldn't it make more sense to make the air a tablet instead of the pro?

    Nope. Modbook has been doing this for years before the iPad even existed. They were the first to mod mac laptops into 'tablets' on old Powerbooks. I used to see them at Macworld every year updating with the latest Macbook releases.

    Take away the stylus and I might consider considering it.

    They buy the laptop, then do the modifications.
