Wow managed to read finish the review. excellent review. i like the last part which says mba can replace mb white and some mbp. i think i made my decision. thanks biggrin.gif


Added on November 27, 2011, 11:22 pmIs the 13" screen okay with movies? Do you watch movies with ur mba? can connect monitor right?


Added on November 27, 2011, 11:52 pmTheres rumor about 15" mba coming in early 2012? ill just wait and see ..maybe getting that. Since 2011 is ending soon.

lol bro. you seem to be on the fence. ive own the mba 13 for a month or so already. overall quite happy with it. the fan problem, yeah happens sometimes. and i dont even game with the air.

screen size, its satisfactory. if you wanna compare, just go to your nearest machines or any other apple authorized reseller and compare the 13" to mayb the 15" mbp.

about the rumor, not really sure. yeah read it on this forum earlier. but i think a 15" mba will really defeat its portability function. sweat.gif

if work is your main concern, certainly the Air! like what I mostly use my Air for. biggrin.gif

can really feel the speed of the SSD when opening Office files, and browsing through files.
from his sig, i suppose so.  blush.gif
interesting, just wondering how much battery life you will lose just say after 1 hour of heavy gaming?

Hmmm.. When I exit the game left 92%

the fans will start whirring very loudly when gaming. that's all i can say. doesn't bother me much cause i use headphones. biggrin.gif

It didn't bother me as well as I blasting my speaker biggrin.gif

-Melvin, of course I watch movies on my laptop. I open up four 720p movies at the same time via MPX and you know what? The Air can handle it without problem.

-For me a 13" screen fits my need. Don't know about you but never once do I feel like I need a bigger screen when I use it. My friend has a very large Alienware (M17X or M15X, can't remember) which has a very large screen. Though I admit that a bigger screen is nice, I'm not gonna sit more than 2 meters from my screen if I'm watching from my laptop.

-For monitors I'm not sure, I think you have to buy a DVI-HDMI adapter to connect to a monitor, maybe some other more experienced member can comment on this.

Based on my experience when I'm using pc, I believe when get too hot will effect game smoothness
It happen on my friend's pc when using HD4870 started to lag when get too hot due to firmware problem doh.gif

if mid 2012 then u may want to wait until april/may... assuming u dont need a laptop urgently right now. there will be new intel processors coming out on april/may... but dunno if apple is going to debut it in MBA, MBP or iMac first

Apple reportedly is set to launch its new MacBook Air series notebooks with panel sizes of 11.6-inch, 13.3-inch and 15-inch in the first quarter of 2012 and will directly compete against ultrabooks from PC brand vendors, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.

The sources noted that related upstream players have already started pilot production of the MacBook Air models and will add a 15-inch model into the product line to expand its reach in the ultra-thin notebook market.

I HOPE THIS IS TRUE. smile.gif

i noticed the online store doesnt sell 3rd party stuff as much as they did before. no wonder why

but yes i do see miniDP-to-HDMI converters at most resellers. i think around rm80-rm150

@ dvllzplayground, thanks bro. will pay a visit to them resellers soon biggrin.gif

but I was on the impression that Apple did sell them before. perhaps this link sheds some light on the matter: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388289,00.asp
