I bought this same config "excellent condition" open box at Best Buy for $689 plus tax.

----------

just got a 2012 11" i5/4gb/128gb as a mint condition open box at Best Buy for $901. Thought it was a good deal and the laptop is in perfect condition.

Four weeks ago, I bought an "excellent condition" same configuration open box at Best Buy fr $689.

Just Purchased 2013 MBA i7/8GB/256HDD/13"

Just purchased.

Or maybe op works for the company in his story and is simply promoting it.

Ha! Wow, cynical much? I'm a real estate agent in the DC Metro area. I'm on the road a lot.

 

[paulrbeers]

I bought the same one. My 2011 with only 4gb of RAM wasn't cutting it.

What a joke that site is

Yeah, you're right. I could sell it for more, but I've been screwed by my eBay one too many times.

Gazelle's site is way friendlier; sometimes they offer more.

Just got my dispatch notification from Apple, should be here tomorrow.

11" base model with no custom config.

 

[sk3tch]

Ordered the MBA in my sig...initially went 13" earlier this morning but changed my mind. Just going to crazy tiny. Heh.

 

[doctorandrew]

Just bought the 13in Macbook Air. Coming from a 11in. Hopefully this will be fast enough to run some of the games I play:

Core i7
8gb RAM
512GB

So basically maxed it out.

My question would be should I just cancel this order and purchase in the store and get it tomorrow or just wait for shipment? My order looks like it's still processing.

 

[froggyjo]

Pulled the trigger for a 13'' maxed out MBA (i7/8/512).

 

[ApplNat]

Hmmm....looks like I may be one of the few who opted for the 13" i5 processor (but upgraded RAM and SSD).

I pulled the trigger right after the keynote yesterday on a 13" i7/8GB/512GB Air.

I have a 5 year old iMac that's starting to show its age and I've been eyeing an Air for a while now as a replacement. i intend to get a Henge dock and external monitor and set it up as a hybrid desktop. Would have liked to have a Retina display but the Air's ultimate portability won out against getting a MBPr.

Now the impossible wait begins, shipping notification says delivery between 06/18-06/20. I am of course hoping for sooner, fingers crossed.

Just brought home a base 11.6 model. The ssd is much much faster both read and write

 

[Wild-Bill]

Current: 2012 13" 1.8 / 8GB / 128GB

Ordered: 2013 13" 1.3 / 8GB / 128GB

Ordered the 11" i5/8GB/512GB today.

It will be my main computer (which sees very light surfing and MS Office use at home), and is replacing a 2009 13" MBP with a 500GB hard drive.

I need the 512GB storage for my iTunes and iPhoto libraries, but I could not justify the i7.

I won't lie - I really wanted to hear about an rMBA yesterday, but kitted out the way I want, the regular MBA is pricey enough as it is. OTOH, I like the ultra-portability of the 11" and the 13" rMPB is overkill for what I'd use it for. I need an "iPad Pro" that runs OSX, and this is about as close as I will get. Can't wait.

Just came home with a maxed-out 13inch!

I just ordered the same configuration. 11"/i5/8g/512. Replacing an 11" mid 2011 i5/128/4 which is going to my brother for his birthday to replace an aging windows machine.

 

[DisMyMac]

Expecting the old "ship time slips to X weeks" headline soon...

 

[twombles62]

A friend is hooking me up via a staff discount at a reseller so haven't ordered yet but I'm in the same boat.

Macbook Air '13 / Core i5 / 8GB / 256GB

I assume you mean i7, 8GB, 512GB? From which Apple store?

 

[neiltc13]

My 11" base model was delivered from Apple online store today.
