This vs a macbook air. HELP

[PatyCake]

Hey guys, my birthday is right around the corner and i asked my parents for this galaxy tab 7.7 from Verizon. They want to get me a MacBook air from Apple. :-[ i do not want a laptop. But they asked me why tablets are better. I have told them the following.
More portable, smaller screen, 4G, dual cameras, games are free unlike apple(i.e. Angry birds) cheaper.

I'm asking you guys for help on trying to convince my parents on getting me this. If you post some pros of tablets and cons of laptops it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hinged cover makes the laptop more likely to break on impact
Macs don't like Flash and many websites have it
SuperAmoled screen of the 7.7 is unparalleled (even in relation to the new IPAD IMO)
Tablet is easier to handle without having to open the laptop screen and balance the laptop

I think Ken hit all the right points I have this tablet and love it over the iPad.
