Or, if you've the Lion upgrade from your other Mac, you could create your own recovery usbdrive yourself and don't need the internet recovery. Shouldn't they do what others have been doing? A hidden recovery partition??? Surely nobody will care missing the 4GB disk space for it..
*
They didn't do that because of the lack of storage that the 64 gb has.
It has to be standardize.
So I believe the MBPs will have it when it starts to ship with lion

mfitri77 - which retail outlet did you pick up your new MBA? I have a friend who wants to pick one up too instead of ordering it online.

Meanwhile, my 13" ultimate is now sitting in a delivery van waiting to be delivered to me today. Should get it in a few hours. Can't wait!!

They're all over the place.
Mac city was the first to sell on Saturday

Didn't realise they were in retail outlets already. I called Machines last week and they told me the new Air's would only be in this week sometime. They couldnt even confirm the day.

I do wonder sometimes which shop get what stock and how. Some of the places I checked prior to my trip on Saturday doesn't have a clue when the new Air will be coming (All It, SengQ, Cycom, CZone), whilst apple branded stores have it, but you have to ask (MacStudio)

Then again, it seemed all their focus is on iPad these days.
*
Those shops you stated are just apple resellers.
Their main business is still pc, they might not know about the new apple products yet until they have stocks.
Then the staffs will get briefing

Um, this might sound like a stupid question, but where the hell are the fan vents on a 2011 MacBook Pro? And there doesn't seem to be a battery that is easily removed externally. sad.gif

It's behind the hinges.
And yea battery is not removable.
But it won't charge once the battery is fully charged

Swipe three fingers up for missions control.
For right click, you need to change the setting for trackpad in system preference.
Check the secondary click

So one more last question, it is perfectly alright for me to use my MBP while it is charging right?? And even it reaches 100% already can I don't plug out the Power Adapter but continue to use(With the power comes from plug, not battery) ?
*
Just keep in mind that you don't want the charge cycles to increase so the charger has to be on all the time smile.gif

On the battery thingy, this has been discussed quite lengthy here:

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1215928 and
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1903203

Conclusion, if you don't want to buy ACPP, you need to follow the recommended way to prolong the battery live. However, if you've ACPP, by all mean plug it in 24/7 to reduce the charge cycles smile.gif
*
You saying that if it's left on 24/7 it will actually damage the battery?

Yes.. it does .. been there .. done that.. My old end-2006 MBP consumed 4 batteries for the past 5 years .. why? Because I had it 24/7 plugged to the wall. Luckily I bought it under 3-yr UK educational warranty, so all the replacements were free.

So according to your experience, what's your advise?
