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.

Hmmm.. When I exit the game left 92%

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

-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.

Im going uni in mid 2012. so ill wait and see if a newer mba will come out. if it does ill get it for sure.

do you guys use cooler for your MB??

saw you guys talking abt the fan sounds issue..
haha.. i think every MB will have that problem (might not be a problem for some ppl.. )

i'm playing Batman Arkhum Asylum now..
the fan speed start to rise as soon as i started the game.. haha..

have played for abt a week, sometimes the game got abit lag..
it happened twice the game hang and i need to force quit the game..
jz wondering is it too hot or it's the game itself problem?

anyone have any idea with this?

I use CoolerMaster Notepal U3.
No lag happen to my MBP while playing on battlefield *touchwood*
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

wow~ U3 is kinda expensive. >"<
ya, that's what i suspect, maybe too hot..
so now looking for a suitable cooler

I choose that cooler because the fan can move around..
I move the fan near the air intake of MBP

you need a miniDP-to-HDMI adapter

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

I hope its mba . cuz i like the weight in mba . Might try mbp in shops see if it suits.

any idea if this adapter is still available in any of the Apple resellers? cause I can't seem to find it on the online Apple Store...

Anyone? I'm using a mba by the way.

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.

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

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

talk about adapters.. i rmb last time someone shared a site that selling the adapter at cheaper price but product same as those selling in Switch and etc.. any idea on that?

just wanna ask, is it good to use macbook with batt only or wired ?

I used wired most of the time unless for some short time usage like 1-2hr. Lots of ppl also let it connected all the time base on my survey...

I use battery sometime
Because some saying that once in a while we need to exercise the battery in order to keep it healthy
But if you have ACPP then you have no worry at all

sleep or shut down ?
