i doubt it's because of the processor, try to check your HDD and see if theres anything wrong there.

is this your primary computer? if it is then, better get at least 128GB. Cause when you have a taste for movies every extra space would matter, you cant bring along an external HDD on the plane, it'll be messy IMHO of course.

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
what was his requirement?

hmm...wad can i say is....for casual usage lo....tats y i considering 11 inch 64GB MB ...bcos tight budget
if not i will go for MBA 11 in 128 GB or MBP

Thanks for the answer. Damn, a bit sad at that fact, but strengthens my opinion that 128GB is the better option.
Yup I'm one of those. I believe in lean computing (put most stuff on external HDD), just that 64GB I feel is a bit low these days for basic computing. Unless you are very very diligent, applications and files can add up. Not to mention the OS itself eating up part of the storage. You end up always having to clean up and constantly monitor your usage, which can be a drag sometimes. Which is why I think 128GB paired with external HDD suits me nicely.

One thing we do have in common tho, my parents also not gonna sponsor me money lol

well...im gonna sell out the iPod Touch i won in a contest when shipped to me.... lets say i can self contribute around 800-1000 ...i still need 3000 to buy 128gb MBA or MBP ... but 64GB MBA require lesser money therefore mayb easier to convince my parents...

Worst case maybe you can ask the guy at the reseller to install for you, since they have external CD Drives. They've upgraded my laptop OS for me before.

Also, for anything else, I think the Remote Disc function still works on the new MacBook Air. Basically, you can use another computer's CD Drive, over wifi. Pretty cool, I used it to install Microsoft Office on the old MacBook Air before.

still got more than 10 months to worry bout Lion. Basically I've backup everything.what remains is 3299 MBA o 3899 MBP

I prefer the 11'6 in MBA thou...but i wonder if the screen will be too small if im using wide screen 13' currently

my last option will be MBW thou
