I just checked out this Samsung Series 9 ($1618):

This one has 13.3" LED display, 128GB SSD, sandy-bridge dual core 1.4 GHz i5, 4GB ram, WiMax 4G support, and a USB 3.0 port.
It is 2.88 lbs and .62 inches thick.
The MacBook Air 13" model has a 1.86Ghz processor, but a Core 2 Duo, and with 4GB ram and a 128GB SSD, it is $1399.

It weighs more at 2.9lbs and is .68 inches thick at the hinge area. The front is only .11 inches thick.
Minus the ability to develop for iOS, the $200 difference seems pretty fair.
