Sorry, I didn't explain. The Nifty Mini Drive is a new product for $40, on sale at the end of this month I believe. Normally, an sd card sticks out of your mac a bit, making it impractical to leave one in there long-term. However, this product is a mini sd card adapter which sits flush with the mac's body, making it able to be left inserted all the time with no fear of damage to the card and/or sd slot. So, if you got the 64gb Air, you can double your storage and just use the sd card for media. It's there all the time and is flash-based, but you don't need to spring for the much more expensive 128gb Ari, just get the adapter and as many cards as you want. To relate this to the topic at hand, my point was that the 13-inch Air can be expanded in this way, while the 11-inch, lacking an sd slot, cannot.
