It's simply a web browsing, email accessing, personal computer that goes with you while taking up less space.

For many people, they'll pay more for the convenience. They are not concerned about processor speed.
Macbook
Height: 1.08 inches (2.75 cm)
Width: 12.78 inches (32.5 cm)
Depth: 8.92 inches (22.7 cm)
Weight: 5.0 pounds (2.27 kg)

Macbook Air
Height: 0.16-0.76 inch (0.4-1.94 cm)
Width: 12.8 inches (32.5 cm)
Depth: 8.94 inches (22.7 cm)
Weight: 3.0 pounds (1.36 kg)

So at its widest point, it's just over 1/4 of an inch thinner. It's also 2 lbs lighter. That is pretty insignificant in terms of portability.
