Buying from online is hassle free. Just create an Apple account and start shopping. Once done, wait for delivery smile.gif

already created few weeks back... just waiting for the correct timing. by the way, the 1 day shipping estimation is reliable or not? hmm.gif

Hello people. I'm in the market for a laptop to complement my desktop pc at home. I'm still undecided between the MBA 11" or MBP.

To owners of the new MBA, can it handle the playback of 720p videos? icon_question.gif I've read people complaining(???) the 720p youtube video playback as jerky and unsatisfactory on macrumors.

Plus, is the screen on the MBP 13 better than MBA for viewing HD contents? hmm.gif

I would say if you going for 13", it is wiser to get MBP.... if u are finding secondary laptop and mobility...11" is the right one for you

Well as long as you're a student you shouldn't have to worry about providing proof...

Surprised that Apple didn't ask for identification for this discount. Maybe they'd think everyone would provide fake student ID?
*
well...I'm student...taking ACCA..Sentral Technology College doesnt provide student ID..all I got is ACCA ID card... Is tat valid?

i doubt february. april is a more likely date.

if it's Q2 rather than Q1...I dont c why I shall not buy it now
but if it's Q1..then I buy now...I will make a loss anyhow
as in reduction of current model price due to EOL or same price but better specs MBP 13"

Are you urge to get the MBP now? If there's  not that rush to get, better wait for a while =p Just my two cents
*
not really very urging... will wait if it's within Q1

QUOTE(iZuDeeN @ Nov 23 2010, 05:51 PM)
just get MBA ... it just launched....
*
my budget for the MBA is only the entry level model
and lets say I got 800 from other source
I need to fork out 2300 for basic MBA and 2800 basic MBP
of course MBA wont get refresh so soon
but MBP will be definitely updated next year

kinda worry MBA cant satisfy my needs

im going to make it my primary laptop

but no one will know if it's within Q1 or not sad.gif

imagine, u wait until 29th april no update. 30th april u go buy the current MBP. 1st may they announce new model tongue.gif

i'd say if u're satisfied with the performance of the current model, juz get it.
*
actually im more tempted to buy Air... tongue.gif
considering 500 savings can be used to get magic mouse and other accessories
and will still left with some amount

bt entry level MBA ..I wonder it has the capability for me to use for long term and main laptop...
if Air I can buy now actually...no need to wait
