Played with the Macbook Air 2.0

Meh, not like people actually use that sore excuse for a button on the Air. The people I know who own Airs just generally use the tap to click option anyways.

I got my first laptop in 1998 (Dell) and I discovered the tap option and I have never been able to go back on any laptop owned or used since.

i prefer tap clicking too. but when dragging windows, i prefer hold clicking the track button with my left thumb and then dragging it with the right middle finger on the trackpad. it's much better for dragging windows. i don't know if the new glasstrackpad on new mb and mbp will work much better than that.

anybody of you guys who played with the new air checked the ssd performance with an tool or something else?

the old ssd reads 50mb/s and writes 20mb/s

i am thinking about an upgrade due to harddrive space problems.
but if the new ssd wont be faster i will switch to a MB pro

It would actually be quite cool if someone went to an Apple store with the new MBAs on display and asked nicely to run Xbench on the HDD and SSD models.

IIRC, someone from Macrumors went and did this when the Rev. A MBAs came out and the Apple store people let him do it...

Any volunteers?
