Report: Apple Orders 380K Sandy Bridge MacBook Airs

A nicely integrated GSM SIM-port would be appriciated

One of those will me mine. I've never purchased a computer or laptop from Apple before but I can't resist the temptation any more.

I've been waiting for this - my MBP15 is long in the tooth and desperately needs a refresh. I don't need nearly the same amount of raw power I used to, so a MBA is going to be a blessing on my back!

I am likely going to fall for a larger MB Air... if they sell a 15" model, I'll be the first in line.

However, I'm still not sure if I like the non-discrete video. Anyone with an MBP'11 that only has Intel HD video care to tell me if it's any good for gaming?

At least the current MB Air has discrete video.

As a longtime user of Dell Latitudes and HP Pavilions, I promise you that the MBAir will blow you away. I always pooh poohed "Light and Thin" - until I had a light and thin laptop, with SSDs, and a 1440x900 13.3" display, with Terminal.App (which is 50%+ of the reason I love OS X) and insanely addictive (and useful) touch pad).

The only major downside of the MBAir is that it is so competitive a form factor for an iPad, it becomes hard(er) to justify getting the iPad - the MBair does 90% of the stuff that I use my iPad for, resulting in much less usage of the iPad, therefore, to some degree, you can say that purchasing a MBair will result in those people who own an iPad from getting less value from that iPad.

Back handed compliment I guess.
