QUOTE(AzrinRain @ Nov 6 2010, 11:36 PM) @Edoras, regarding the MagSafe connector, Apple designed it as such so that it's angled. Why? It's learnt that most folks who use the old MagSafe tend to place their cables behind their MacBooks. Rather than having tons of cases where the connectors are frayed and torn off(which presents a safety hazard), Apple has decided to make it angular. Besides, if the cable is out of sight, you won't even notice it being there..  It also has a more slim form factor as well. Yes, it really makes sense to me now. At first, I placed the magsafe facing down to my feet when I realized, why it blocked my USB! Haha... silly me. Its safer now pointing to the back...

QUOTE(HW-Racer @ Nov 8 2010, 09:56 PM) trying to go online using my Macbook air...by connecting to my home wifi (at the same time with my old Dell notebook)...but still unable connect....not sure what is the problem though ! Do you mean both MBA and Dell unable to connect or only MBA have problem? Weird, because I found out that Macs are much easier to connect the WiFi AP compared to PCs... Its like plug and play... Also, try using Google Chrome browser... It seems to be faster than Safari...

QUOTE(HW-Racer @ Nov 10 2010, 11:24 PM) hi welcome to the MBA club.... i just got my MBA about 4 days ago.... but don't why still having problem connecting to my home wifi...so i got to use my old dell notebook to surf the net... i read the manual provided... and saw a mention that maybe due to model problem...maybe my model can only allow 1 connection at a time ?? cause i try to connect 2 notebooks (dell and macbooK)...using my Dlink modem...wireless wifi.... (using streamyx line) Did you set any security on your WiFi AP? Have you tried connecting your MBA to another WiFi AP (office etc..)? If its okay, most probably its not your MBA problem but maybe your WiFi AP.

QUOTE(dugung76 @ Nov 20 2010, 09:04 PM) I have a question regarding Macbook Pro Battery. A while ago when I turn on my macbook my battery was 94% ( 8pm) and now it run about 45% and it's only 9.05pm. my question, it is running out fast because I sync my ipad with my macbook? Maybe something wrong with the battery. Download MinibatteryLogger utility for the Mac OS and make comparison with others..

QUOTE(m|key @ Dec 9 2010, 09:49 AM) wow..thanks for the comparison. still in dilemma, 64GB or 128GB. with osx installed, is already used up approx 20GB. lol.... wonder why apple ever offer 64GB SSD. Better get the 128 GB. Mine is 256 GB MBA 13.3" specs and have used up 122 GB already.... Can't imagine how people use a 64GB SSD....

QUOTE(benny888 @ Dec 9 2010, 09:57 PM) If one use the MBA as a full fledge daily notebook, I agree even 256MB is insufficient. Both my iMac and MBP used up to 300 MB. However on my MBA I use only about 70 MB ( with a few favorite movies ) as I just use it for browsing, email, RSS, Zinio mags, office applications - it is more of a supplementary notebook due to its extreme portability. 300MB? 60 MB? I think you meant 300GB and 60GB, right? I think for most users with 128 GB are sufficient but definitely 64 GB is way too small.... Even the iPad have 64 GB storage...

QUOTE(Bad Cyborg @ Dec 18 2010, 10:02 AM) Sorry fanboy, but a computer doesn't run on hard drive alone.  And there is no 2.13GHz MacBook Air in the current lineup. So the top speed is 1.86GHz. 2.13Ghz MacBook Air, the previous gen, scores quite a lot lower in Geekbench due to Apple's CPU throttling. My first test on the Geekbench resulted 3040. Mine is the Ultimate 13.3". http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/331274
