Saw it in the Black Friday Thread at BestBuy for $80US. Last time I brought one from iTunes it ran me close to $130NZD but thought I'd try this last night for digital delivery and it went through OK!! Ended up being $105NZ so result on that side as use it for rentals/tv shows in New Zealand as the NZ itunes store sucks.

I ordered an 11" 1.6GHz i5 128GB/4GB MacBook Air from Amazon earlier this morning when the price was still $1,098. Oh, and Amazon doesn't collect sales tax in CA, so that's all in.

Stoked.


Now to order some accessories for it.......

What's with the downvote? I balanced it out as I really friggin' hate that system around here.

Anyway, congrats on the purchase! I love my MBA. Let us know what accessories you wind up getting. I'm still incapable of pulling the trigger on any.

Someone seems to always downvote me in this thread.

Thanks.

Regarding accessories......I just ordered a Moshi Palmguard in silver from B&H. I had one on my MBP, and loved it. I knew it was the first thing I'd buy....that way I wouldn't have to worry about my watch scratching the palmrest area.

I need to order a powered USB hub (any suggestions from anyone? Preferably from Amazon), and a small shoulder/messenger bag that will hold the MBA, the power source, and a few other odds and ends. I may also get the Bookarc.....

 

[wordoflife]

^^ I'd suggest a keyboard cover, specifically a Moshi.

When you first get it, you'll be like "Why the **** did I buy this?? I can't type!" but you'll get used to it. Before I hated mine, but now I love typing with it. It gives the keys a good grip IMO. I can hardly type properly without the cover.

The main reason I bought it is because I hate when dust/debris gets stuck under the key. That absolutely drives me insane.

Look at Fossil.com for messenger bags. I have one and it's great, and I have never heard a bad review.

Bought an Arkon stand for my Kindle (brother has one for his iPad). It's a pretty nice stand for the money ($12.95, Amazon).

Thanks for the suggestion......I'll think about it, but I've never had a keyboard cover before and I was just fine. I just made sure not to eat anything that created crumbs while using my MBP.

Does it affect how the MBA closes?

Thanks, I'll take a look. I'm hoping to find something that was designed with the 11" MBA in mind though.

I've been using that stand for over a year now. It's pretty good, but I don't love it. It doesn't lock well at certain angles.

Then definitely check out Etsy.com
Good stuff on there.

It's out of jealousy.

Posting this from the Apple store St. Louis Galleria..

Just purchased a whole basket of "Apples"

- 3 Apple iPad 16GB Wifi White
- 2 Apple TVs
- 1 Apple iPhone 4 16GB White

 

[Moyank24]

Just bought a pair of these from Amazon...I've heard good things about them and for $95 I figured I would take a chance.

I have the same thing, but with the 256GB drive.

It's my primary computer, and it's wonderful.


STM makes a bag designed specifically for the 11" MBA. Me? I bought the Be.ez LA Robe sleeve, which I think is the best sleeve in existence, and put it in my regular messenger bag. The LA Robe is very strong.

Nope.
I guess if you're careful not to eat anything that will create crumbs, you don't really need one (unless you dislike the keyboard getting shiny). I just bought mine because I keep my computer open all the time, and I'd just hate for dust (or anything, really) to get stuck under the keys. I don't really mind my keyboard getting shiny of any of that.

Books!!!

Not a fan of digital books at all and probably never will be, prefer to have something to show for reading it. You may even say I collect real books... (On the plus side they also don't run out of battery power). Recently I used up a lot of vouchers to buy these:

Giorgio Faletti - I Kill

George Orwell - Nineteen Eighty Four

George Orwell - Animal Farm

John Boyne - The Boy In the Striped Pyjamas

Jules Verne - Twenty Thousand Legues Under the Sea

Only finished one so far....

what the......? Why do you need that much iPad's?

 

[Firestar]

John Boyne - The Boy In the Striped Pyjamas

The Boy In The Striped Pajamas is a pretty good book. The ending is sad.

found a great deal on vinyl records and couldn't pass these two great LPs

Haven't been playing any games for the past few years. I saw on Macgamestore.com that they had Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare at 50% off. So I snagged it. I like it so far!

 

[BlakeBrattina]

I figured it's about time to upgrade my MBP - G. Skill 2x4GB

Now I just have to make sure this is the absolute right spec, I'm a worry wart, even after researching. Anyone who can confirm this will work, you can ease my mind for the evening!

 

[kppolich]

looks good to me. 204 pin 1333 is right on for your i5 spec macbook pro
