It would be about the same price as what I paid for the 17" MBP.
Actually with the flash SSD day to day tasks are actually faster! The only downside vs the 13.3 MBP is storage space but I just bring a portable HD with me. Things like photoshop and web browsers and rebooting are faster on the air than MBP but applying complex Photoshop filters MBP is a bit faster. The next gens of MBPs will prObably be all SSD which would be pretty amazing.
