macbook pro will meet your requirement since it come with faster processor,larger hardisk space and ram upgradeable up to 8gb.
the advantage for macbook air over macbook pro will be 1kg lesser,faster storage access speed,facetime camera

that is not an advantage its just a rebranded isight camera that can be found on every mac since isight was introduced.

Still can Bootcamp for this MBA?

of course. it's still a mac. but if u wanna bootcamp i suggest getting at least the 128gb version. 64gb for a mac with bootcamp sounds too limited

Just delete my BootCamp and trying to re-install it back but can't. I'm trying to re-create the partition but it says

"The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved"

this problem can be easy to fix or complicated. seems like it depends on ur luck tongue.gif ill sort it out from easiest to most complicated

1) open disk utility, repair disk permissions
2) boot from OSX dvd, open disk utility, repair disk
3) open disk utility (like normal, not booting from dvd), create a new partition the same size as u intend the bootcamp partition to be. then remove the partition u juz created. now try bootcamp again
4) clone ur whole system, n reformat +_+

How long is a piece of string?

Probably want to be a bit more specific if you are expecting answers.

Why would one get MBA and install windows 7 on it? You are gonna bloat it real good, no offense rather it stay Mac osx only.

Based on my experiences using Windows on MAC, best is still to use XP. Even though it is old OS but is stable and reliable. All my Macs using it even though I bought Windows 7 last year for my iMAC

Nvm, salah baca. tongue.gif

The old MBA with the 1.8" HDD is damn slow, I'd stay clear of it.

that's really the best 'new feature' biggrin.gif rm5599 is really hard to justify. rm3299 is great, macbook vs MBA seems more reasonable compared to MBP vs MBA tongue.gif

Those wanting the new MBA, MacStudio has all models in stock. The 4 non-CTO models only.

Mac Mini is faster. MBA is ULV.

Your pendrive isn't nearly as fast though. smile.gif

Re XP on a Mac, I had audio issues with my MBP on both XP and Vista via Bootcamp. During music playback you would hear pops and clicks at random. Tried different drivers and it didn't help. No problems with Win 7, other than the fact 2 finger scrolling is still crap in Windows just as it previously was.
