2.5" SATA, presumably. I don't know how many of the smallest notebooks accommodate that form factor, or have user-upgradable drives (for any reasonable definition thereof).

Nope. The premise of the article is that comparable Windows notebooks cost about the same as or more than the MacBook Air -- I'm not planning to visit every PC manufacturer's Web site to find a much cheaper comparable machine that I don't believe exists.
