Macbook Air 11" VS Thinkpad X201s

Here is such a dilemma.
Their prices are comparable

Pros of Air:
Smaller in size.
Good video card.
Cons:
The disk cannot be replaced
The RAM cannot be expanded
There is no network port

Pluses x201s:
Built-in full-fledged network card
Core i7
Cons:
Built-in video card
Bad viewing angles at the screen

I rarely play. I work only under Windows. Network engineer.
BUT it scares that the synthpad will slow down when playing fullHD video on Intel GMA HD.

What do you recommend to take?

I see no reason to take a Macbook and work on it under Windows.

"There is no network port ... I work ... as a network engineer."
Not seriously.

If you don't understand, buy a poppy.

What about viewing angles? Has Apple really begun to put normal matrices with 178 angles in their laptops?

It doesn't make much sense to change the disk.
A network card, if needed, is connected via USB
2gb in terms of internet bydlokoding enough for the eyes.
In our consumer world, changing a thing is more convenient than upgrading it.
Pluses in x201s are meaningless.
But, there is no doubt that you will buy a thinkpad (I speak from experience, I myself use macbooks and syncpads in approximately the same proportions).
Why? The average consumer looks at the numbers without thinking about the convenience and pluses of the Macintosh (especially when looking at the price of Macs, which is much higher than that of similar laptops).
People are right to be scared, this is the very reason why Apple still uses c2d.
