QUOTE(stringfellow @ Oct 25 2010, 07:55 PM) 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. Yours shipping end of the month? Mine as well ;-) I should be able to get it ard 1st - 3rd Nov  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!   Now i am hunting for a leather evelope..tis one http://www.contextclothing.com/item.php?id=1859 kinda expensive  U got any recommendations ka? |

QUOTE(stringfellow @ Nov 2 2010, 07:40 AM) Mine is already in Subang. It just says "Processin/Clearance delay". I did ask them to hold package till I get back tomorrow. I didn't ask them to hold and also clearance delay   Yday called DHL and they told me another 24 to 48 hours to process the delay...maybe I should call them again later. |

QUOTE(smudger14 @ Nov 3 2010, 06:16 PM) any of you guys install win 7 on MBA? Whats the experience index? Can you share with us? Tried Win 7 bootcamp on my previous MBP..but i dont think wanna "pollute" my MBA with Microsoft this time haha!Added on November 3, 2010, 6:30 pm QUOTE(stringfellow @ Nov 3 2010, 06:18 PM) 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. I did not migrate..basically just copy backup iPhoto and iTunes library only. All apps I opt for fresh install This post has been edited by neekun: Nov 3 2010, 06:30 PM |

QUOTE(hongchiang @ Nov 6 2010, 02:36 PM) Hi all, Calibrate it once a month :i bought my MBA 11" last saturday so far was great:) any tips to care about the battery? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1490 Added on November 6, 2010, 2:43 pm QUOTE(Edoras @ Nov 6 2010, 02:08 PM) After Day 3 using the MBA, I think the new design Magsafe looks okay to me now... Tis MBA magsafe is a bit tight fit comparing with my previous MBP 15" magsafe....anyway I am ok with it   Added on November 6, 2010, 2:44 pm QUOTE(tzxsean @ Nov 6 2010, 01:20 PM) already created few weeks back... just waiting for the correct timing. by the way, the 1 day shipping estimation is reliable or not? If you do not customise it, it will be shipped within 1 day after your payment is confirmed. This post has been edited by neekun: Nov 6 2010, 02:44 PM |

QUOTE(Edoras @ Nov 14 2010, 12:33 PM) Hmmm...maybe MBA is not meant for you after all.... Totally agreed with u Haha... just kidding... If most of the time one needs Windows, then better get a Windows laptop. It hurts everytime I see a lovely glowing Apple logo but at the other side of the screen is Windows  Anyway, It's just my 2 cents. Diff people diff taste |
