This isn't entirely accurate. The Air starts at 1129 EUR in Germany, presumably it's the same in the rest of Europe. That's 1344 USD right now, but that's not an entirely fair comparison since this price is after tax whereas the USD prices are generally before tax. Before taxes, the Air is actually 1129 USD in Germany (current exchange rate and taxes cancel each other out). More than a 1000, but significantly less than 1500.
