no new MBA - will you wait?

[Scottsdale]

Today was the first Tuesday I have completely forgotten about checking Apple.com as soon as I woke up for an MBA update. I have truly GIVEN UP on an MBA update anytime soon. Finally, it's off my mind. Thank GOD. I am in it for the long haul. I would love to see an MBA update soon, but I think October is probably best case scenario beyond C2D... and January is probably a lot more realistic.

What will Apple do? Wait for next generation Intel CPUs with double GMA performance? Move to AMD and ATI for a better all around solution for the 13" Mac notebook users? Actually use C2D again? EOL the MBA? Or even wait another year or more before introducing its own chip in a Mac?

I don't even know anymore. I have officially not put Windows 7 on my new MBA. I am leaving it off, as I have no "need" to run Windows 7 on it for work purposes. I am using my new Mac mini Server for Windows 7. The new MBA is really serving all my needs great, but I will buy a new one the day Apple updates the MBA. Oh, and I am trying to sell my original 2.13 GHz MBA with 128 GB SSD. It's in the marketplace if anyone is interested.

I'm interested!

Even after what I wrote yesterday about choosing the MBA I had people say not to buy it because it's a crippled CPU and you're wasting your money etcetcetc... I'm still unsure what to get and I've now been looking at the 15" MBP which would be okay... although very heavy for my liking I would be able to deal with it.

How much are you looking to sell it for? I'm based in Brisbane but i'll be in LA next friday if you happen to live in LA!

Sounds familiar . Yesterday I finally ordered my MBA.
I'm hypnotising myself to not get terribly furious should an update happen next week, but somehow I feel it won't be necessary.

You can all relax now. I have personally assured an MBA update in the next two weeks by ordering a refurbished 2.13 GHz, 128 GB SSD Rev. C edition.

I will wait. In the meantime, I will be using my 4 year old Macbook

OK. I lied. I was hoping a sooner MacAir update but what made me buy the MBP 13.3" was the Bing CB ending on July 30th. I could not resist not buying the MBP for $975. I will probably buy the MacAir when the new one is out but I need to convince my wife to use my used MBP My mom loves my 4 year old Macbook
