Maybe you can refer to the MS and Adobe website or go to Machine at Mid Valley to check it out.

hi guys, been reading first 10 pages of this thread. will continue reading later tonight.

question, i plan to get a mba 13" possibly next friday. is it wise to get it now or should i wait for a new version?

there's been rumor/news of a new version in early 2012. what you guys think?
http://9to5mac.com/2011/11/28/digitimes-ma...h-model-coming/

not really in hurry, just that thinking to get one since i wanted a personal laptop to do personal stuffs like downloading stuffs, watching movie, surfing and playing some rounds of dota. would want to play diablo 3 with it too once it's out for sale.
now just thinking if there would be a new mba, would it come with usb3.0 coz now thunderbolt external hdd are not that universal plug and play and they are really expensive.

hmmm, will it really be early 2012? or mid 2012? cause the current gen MBA was released in mid-2011, so I would suppose it would make sense to release the next gen in mid-2012, right? any thoughts?

mostly will be Apr like dvlzplayground mentioned i believe... but regarding to wait or not to wait.. it is really depends.. if can wait and no need to use yet.. of course wait is better and straight get it once it is launch.. if you need it badly around end of this year or maybe Jan or Feb of next year.. it is better to get it now.. better than when you really need it and buy around Jan or Feb.. then 2 months later.. model refresh.. that time sure mad.gif

wonder how much different it can get. at most the ivy bridge cpu and usb3.0. shouldn't be more significant than that right?
thunderbolt also by intel right? coz if not mistaken when mba was refreshed this year, i believe usb 3.0 was already in products in market, so just wondering why apple didnt put into mba. maybe a question of their positioning strategy.

but you're right about April

do u think i should just proceed to get current mba?


Added on November 29, 2011, 4:50 pmowh, the ivy bridge processor also has Intel HD 4000 GPU, being 20-60% faster than current HD 3000 with DX11 support. i suppose it "supports" it but may not render it well

MBA doesnt follow a 1-year cycle. but i think apple would upgrade iMac or MBP 1st with ivy bridge...MBA n mac mini later on

if im not mistaken, those having usb3.0 right now need to rely on 3rd party controllers (i think lah) since intel havent support it yet. what's supposed to be significant for ivy bridge is the integrated graphics and low power consumption. see lah how later

you could be right about the usb 3.0 part

"USB 3.0 will also be included in PCs based on Ivy Bridge, said Kirk Skaugen, vice president and general manager for Intel's Data Center Group, during a keynote Wednesday at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing"
