I've always loved Tom Bihn's stuff -- very broad product line.

I work in a rather conservative field so the most "out there" bag I've carried is a taxi yellow Waterfield messenger bag-- still get comments about it because it stands out in the sea of black bags at meetings.

Now that I'm a bit older I finally went to a (slightly) more conservative bag -- but did get the one with pink accents.

I would definitely carry that Tom Bihn bag into NYC when not working, though.

Oh, and another nice Waterfield is the Racer-X. A great all-in-one bag and the laptop compartment is so "cushy" there is no need for a sleeve. My husband carries one.

I wish they would ship the machines!

P.S. Oh, and PieMac -- I just noticed, I'm coupling my Air to a 2.8 24" iMac as well, my first iMac and I love it.

My first Waterfield bag was the small Cargo with the Taxi yellow flap...we have good taste! :D

I decided to sell it after a while because I bought a MacBook Pro and wanted a larger bag so I could carry it with me as well when needed. So I bought the Waterfield Sleeve with the strap and piggyback combo for my then 17" MBP, decided it was great, but a bit large for my tastes, so I sold it and got the 15" MBP and that's when I discovered Tom Bihn bags. I have to say, that Waterfield and Tom Bihn both excel in every respect. I never look beyond these two companies for my bag needs. The customer service is outstanding for both-super nice people!

And I love my iMac! The MBA is the perfect complement...I really have a feeling they will ship this week...my Mactuition at work! :apple:

Anyone know when the stores will actually get them so i can see a floor model?

I'm leaning toward the 1.6 with SSD, so don't expect stores would have too many of those. But I like to see before I buy

Thats the spec i went for, i want the SSD and im happy with the 1.6 CPU, no real difference in speed and saves me a few quid over the 1.8

UK is always last so you'll be enjoying yours before i see mine im sure! i have feb 11th ship/18th delivery currently.

If your "nickname" reflects your location-- I would be shocked if the 5th Ave (and likely SOHO as well) stores weren't very high on the list to receive initial shipments. Especially 5th Ave given that high traffic area around 60th-- these will be big sellers at that store.

I have spoken to a couple of folks at the area stores and the general consensus seems to be (no one was willing to be definitive) early-mid next week.

Any speculation on why the 1.8/SSDs are showing up as CTOs? (even though no customization was selected) Think they'll ship at the same time as the 1.6/HDDs? (I certainly hope so!)

And for all those naysayers who think the MBA is far too lacking in ports, drives, etc., perhaps the MacBook AirCraft is your computer:

I went for 1.8ghz and 64 gb SSD. I bought it yesterday and it ships by Feb 19th. I really hope it actually arrives earlier! (Should have bought earlier but I was debating...)

So it seems like Apple now sold about 13 days worth of MBAs to lab rats like us. I wonder how many they make per day.

I just called Apple for the hell of it and asked to upgrade shipping -- CSR bumped me up to next business day for free.

No information on when exactly they'll be shipping. This was expected.

Your lucky Cyber! I just called to give it a shot, and was told that there is no way to overnight the MBA since it is being shipped directly from Shanghai. I guess its a different story depending on who you get on the other end of the phone :)
