Weird indeeed.....

I have a 1.4GHz w 4GB ram. It plays with a little choppy. I believe a 1.6GHz will have no problem

Testing a 11' model 1.4ghz processor 2gb ram in the Apple Store with this trailer at 1080p:

Choppy, slow. On 13' 1.86ghz mba played smoothly.

Can anyone this with 1.6ghz to see if there is any difference?

Tested this on my 1.4 / 4GB model, it ran 1080P perfectly smooth with eight (8!) other apps open other than Safari..
This little thing can do alot.

Has anyone tried on an external monitor? I'm still curious as to how it plays at an actual higher resolution.

Good question, can someone test this?

1.4 is enough.. go with the 128gb like i did

do the unboxing at apple store if you are buying in-store then check for the creak sound by pressing the (black plastic)

And you base your "get used to it" comment on what proof? Or is that denial I hear talking? I wish you well, if your MBA develops the problem you're in for the shock of your life. Or not, denial can be very rewarding (for some people) ...

Im thinking of purchasing the 11" Air at some point, i heard about this "display issue" and i'm referring to the flickering. Does anyone know much about this? Like how likely it is to happen, cause, fixes etc?

I've seen a youtube video on it, looks pretty bad...

Not happening on my 11.6"

So far so good here, still using it as my 2nd computer, i.e. downstairs, in kitchen, away from the Windows 7 desktop I also use.

That said, since I go this 2 weeks ago 90% of my computing has been on the MBA.

I am only using the desktop right now for printing, and iphone/itunes syncing, also for streaming to my squeezebox at the weekends!

I still need to learn how to 'do more' with mac as I'm new to it, but as I started off, so far so good.
Oh, and I use the base model MBA 64gb/2gb

Mine has been an absolute nightmare!


JK, it's awesome.

No issues with my maxed out 11.6" - this is the computer I've wanted from Apple for so long - it is perfect for my needs.
