Besides heat on the bottom - does anyone have a comment about how wide it opens? An MBP was never acceptable for me but I could deal with the MB. I'm curious how wide it opens in comparison.

lesson learned: you can always preorder, mull it for a few days if you really need (want) it, then cancel any time before "prepared for shipment."

Don't forget when you quote a time in China, when things come back this way you lose a day because they cross the international date line. For example it is 4:14 AM Friday in Beijing China.

It opens slightly less then a MB. Probably like 10 degrees less.

sighh.

my 1.8 80gb, ordered the day of the keynote at 1:04 PST is still showing, "not yet shipped"

i'm hoping that i'll see "prepared for shipment" very very very soon.

when do you think we'll get the 1.8/80's by? If it ships outs tomorrow, then Tuesday?

Thanks for taking the time to post this - it certainly did provide a little geek fun. It also shows the high level of quality that Apple puts into its products - even the packaging is beautiful!!

Well my MacBook Air 1.8 GHz/80 GB HD custom ordered went to "Prepared for Shipping" sometime in the last hour!!!

It was ordered 1/15 at around 1130am right after the Keynote with an educational store discount, I did spring for the expedited 2-3 day shipping.

Anyone know about how much lag between "Prepared" status to "Shipped"?

Hopefully they'll beat the original 2/6 ship by date and I'll get well before the original delivery by date of 2/11 (especially if they can ship within the next couple of days and well before the weekend of 2/9-10).
