Kindly stop spamming the Macbook Air delivery dates and this is not a place for you to do so. Post deleted. Just post it when you have it in hand and maybe a short review.

Thank you

Tested boot time on ultimate MBA...the moment Apple logo appears...start counting..only 9 seconds!!!

I am impressed!!!

any of you guys install win 7 on MBA? Whats the experience index? Can you share with us?

The boot time is comparable to the iPad during first start. Once started, the INSTANT ON feature kicks in and it's exactly like iPad when turns on after activating from sleep! I'm in the process of unboxing and doing Mibration Assistant on the new Ultimate.

Tried Win 7 bootcamp on my previous MBP..but i dont think wanna "pollute" my MBA with Microsoft this time haha!

LOL That is what my 11.6" MBA is for. I configured it to the perfect operating environment I wanted it to be, and now with the 13.3" here, "migrate" the entire 11.6" settings and files to the 13.3". That way, they both share all the settings and most importantly the external iTunes library setup I've set up on the 11.6".

Received my Ultimate 13.3" today.
Its really a fantastic machine and fast!
I am going to use this as my main Machine.
I am also following you guys... i.e. Fresh install. This way, I can control what's really important on my MBA... ;-)

I manage to install win7 from usb drive via boot camp (i dont like virtual).. been bz the whole afternoon for boot camp dual boot.. and i love the perfomance.. very fastttttttttttttt..

I no longer use Windows after moving to Mac... That was many years ago... ;-)

Anyone went to the Discovery Week at Sunway Pyramid ?? any of the LY bros here managed to get the free microsoft office for Mac...
limited to first 15 customers ??

anyway what is "Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac " ? is it the same as installing windows 7 on the Mac ???

Parallel Desktop is virtual machine software, so you will be able to run your windows inside your mac.

thanks...managed to find this... http://www.maclife.com/article/reviews/par...op_6_mac_review

What's wrong with people being proud about their own devices or MAC?

bro, may i know what's the windows 7 experience index for your MBA? Thanks

Just wondering, how you guys install iWork 09 or Microsoft Office on MBA?

im using a white macbook late september 2009.
having difficulty now in pressing the trackpad. doesnt seem to be responsive to clicking but tapping does work tho..
thanks in advance

possible battery bulging?

call apple care, or go to their AASP(Apple Authorized Service Provider), hopefully they will replace your top case and trackpad. , i also have same issue on my MBP Late 2008, it's second times on this year, i will going there tommorow, to claim my warranty.
