I ordered an MBA i7, 8gb 128gb last wednesday - still waiting for delivery ahhhh. Cannot wait to receive it though!! my first 'up to date' macbook
I have this same model and even after nearly a year, I STILL get excited every time I open the lid (and I've owned dozens of Apple laptops over the years).
A fantastic computer, it'll be worth the wait!

I've "switched" many many people from PC's to Apple over the years and the one thing they all seem to say is, "I wish I had done this 10 years ago". The fact that they can run full bootable versions of Windows on the Macs now (rather than just virtual machines) makes it even more enticing.

Excellent
only a few more days 13 inch MBA on the way, i7/8GB/256GB
Not my first, but can't remember being more excited for a computer to arrive.
So it excited that it actually got me to register here, years of just browsing are over.

Also ordered same specs last Wednesday. Still in the processing items stage. This waiting really sucks. BTO is evil.
Although I did choose a different keyboard.
I ordered mine today (see specs above) and it has already shipped. Weird. I did pony up for the expedited shipping.
Get your serial here: https://supportprofile.apple.com/
Check your specs* here: http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html/
*not always correct -
Mine incorrectly said i7 (ordered base).
However, others have reported seeing max specs and receiving maxed out MBAs.

Hmm...chipmunk just gives me an error? Tried some others and nothing can find my serial. Odd. Just have to wait a week!
Excellent
I'm sorry gaz, but I clearly didn't read your post correctly. I have the i7/8GB/512, not the 128. My bad. Great machine though (close enough, eh?)
I still insist, you'll love it as much as I do mine.
Did you do standard or expedited? I have mine for standard as I want it in their estimated 15-17 delivery date but it's still preparing for shipment after updating earlier this morning! I hope it doesn't come after the 17th.
Preparing for Shipment Available to ship: 3 - 5 business days
Delivers: Jul 15 - Jul 17 by Standard Shipping
I can't remember it giving me an other option other than standard.
However I received an email this morning saying it's been dispatched - with a est delivery of 21 July 2014.. Shipped from China.
Just got it. Can't wait to finish up work and start playing around with it. Somewhat regret not getting the 512GB but happy I didn't spend the extra money at the same time.
It's puuuuuurty.

Just got a base model MBA from Best Buy last night! Got it for an absolute steal, walked out the door only paying $672.34! I'm absolutely loving it!
Well, I decided to bite the bullet and order the base model 11 inch Air with the 8GB upgrade. I have to wait a few days though since if I order right now it would arrive while I am on vactation. Along with the education discount and the $100 gift card, for which my sister has already offered me $100, I will be getting it for a steal.
I've been debating whether to buy an Air, and which size if so, for weeks. I was going to hold out for the rumored 12" retina model, but a few factors pointed me away from that decision: the fact that it may not come out this year at all (there haven't been any part leaks, Broadwell is delayed, etc), the fact that the current design is tried and true (I have always been satisfied purching the last version of a product design), and the fact that I have so much research work to do between now and October that I need a notebook computer now. I am sick of being thethered to my iMac on my desk. My iPad is fine for typing notes, but not fine for the kind of research and composition that I have to do.
I have previously owned an 11" 2011 MacBook Air and I loved it, so I think I will be fine with the size. I was just wanting the 13"'s 12-hour battery life, but that's okay. I was also a little worried that it would make my iPad redundant since it is nearly the same size screen, but I doubt it. They are two different devices with different OSs and uses. I also went for the 11" because I will be bringing it to the university, so portability is a concern.
I am very exited

The colours on your screen look great for the 11". Can I ask what week your MBA was made? (you can find out by entering your serial number at Chipmunk).
Thanks
