Crap, my bad. Damn, ya. ANY of them would work to tell you the truth. I would still go with the REV B just because heating issues PISS ME OFF. But with the heating fix (forgot app name) There is no reason NOT to get the Rev A. Just look at the deals and consider if its worth it.

Seriously though, such a nice iMac and only light things on your air? Common, every option available works perfect for you. :)

I'll head to the Apple store now and try to make up my mind. I can always go for the HDD and upgrade to SSD later when needed, but what is killing it for me is that the MBA1 does not support the new SSDs according to what I have been reading so that is a big disadvantage for the future. In addition, the heat was burning me from my previous experience which is making me want the MBA2 but this is not enough to justify the $500-700 price difference between MBA1 and MBA2 HDD.

I'll go install iStatPro in the store and open tons of YouTube videos and see what I find out about MBA2 :D

Thanks for your input :)

Thanks guys to everyone of you for the discussion.

I got the 1.6/80 + super drive + ethernet USB + tax = $1392.31 @ BB. What do you think? :)

I know that I would have saved $150 if I have gotten them from eBay but I do not like to buy my expensive electronics off eBay.
