I know i cant expect much from a netbook but how does it fare when comparing to a average spec notebook for surfing/photoshopping etc? prompt responsiveness? Am still thinking whether to go for 128 + 4Gb Ram...

Congrats on the new baby! Freaking fast isn't it? I wasn't even sure I can start using it when it loaded up after those lightning fast bootup, but the cursor was moving when I slide around the glass trackpad. shocking.gif Unbelievable!

I see the basic specs MBA you got there as a pretty serious enticement for those to upgrade from the highest end iPad Wifi +3G.

The price for iPod Touch 4G 64GB + top up less than RM200 = gets you a basic entry level iPad Wifi 16GB(US Price with tax)
The price for iPad WiFi 64GB(US Price with tax) + top up less than RM300 = gets you a basic entry level MacBook Air 11" 64GB

Clever tiered pricing, if I can say so myself. The moment the end user decides to get the highest end specced of a lower-tiered product, he would start considering upgrading to another tiered product at its basic entry level specs. Genius!

I've ordered the Waterfield SleeveCase and Suede Jacket Sleeve from sfbags.com to complement my own newly purchased MBA, it should be shipping end of this month. Good times! rclxm9.gif

So you are suggesting if MBA/portability is the aim, go for the 64/2gb ram basic spec? How much hard disc left usable?

I'm suggesting that Apple now has coherent lineup of portable hierarchy that makes the end user think about what they're gonna do with them.

As for how much storage left, ask Prazole. Mine still left within the 100GB after installing all my necessary apps. And I'm in LYP now buying 1TB WD USB-powered HDD for my iTunes library. Pair this setup with the new AppleTV just bought=watching shows/movies on widescreen hotel HDTVs, won't be bored during extended nightstops during work trips. tongue.gif

So you bought the 128? 2GB Ram? Any problem with the 1.4 processor?
