Gender divide over the Macbook Air?

Opinions appear entertainingly divided on the new Macbook Air along the usual "groundbreaking revolution" / "total waste of space" lines. (Soon enough this amusing dialectic will resolve to the duller but more useful "it's OK" synthesis. But I digress.) Personally I see the possibility of a gender divide on the issue. Quoth Virginia Postrell:

"at 13.3" wide, it probably won't fit in my already-oversized purse. (And the word in fashion circles is that oversized bags are OUT.)"

Too big to carry around in a purse/handbag? So this is a boy not-quite-sub-laptop. Looks like there will be a (much) smaller target market for the latest Apple launch than the ubiquitous iPod.
