Did everyone just ignore the post earlier in the thread. This guy has the same display with the vertical line issues that comes in the macbook air. 
Got a tip for us?

could Apple increase the display resolution in an update to say 1400x900 ?
maybe when snow leopard comes out?
I think that is one thing I would've liked to have seen the most...a higher resolution on the 13" and 15"
15.4 should've gotten the option to go to 1680x1050 also.

It thought that was the 9c9a, they have the 9c9f.

I don't see any vertical line issues.

I'm not saying his does have the issue, but it's the same display. A guy earlier pointed that out. Maybe it's a non issue, but it should be noted. I'm not sure I want a computer that comes with a display known to have issues. Just common sense.
The issue with the Macbook Air was actually horizontal lines, not vertical. Personally I don't think it was the display anyway, I think it was a problem with the Air itself.
The thing runs really cool to me- I've been using it for about 3 hours now and I can't feel a hotspot. My powerbook would burn my legs but I must say I haven't done anything processor heavy.
SD card slot works great- pops up a SD card icon on the desktop and your good to get your stuff off. My Sony cameras card is thinner and doesn't work though.
No vertical lines here at all...after following all these threads for months- I think it is damn near perfect (maybe I got lucky)
As for battery- I've been using it for about 3.5 hours off charger and it says 56%- pretty darn good.
I don't think the display was at fault either. Only thing I can say about the color is that the blues seem very slightly purplish. I need to find those color profiles that people have posted.
Either way, people praised the Air's display and now it replaced the UMB- I guess thats an improvement.
That is some nice battery life. I can't wait to get mine. Any chance you can post a picture with the sd card inserted into the slot? Thanks again for all of the info and pictures. You beat Engadget and Gizmodo. Very nice.
I'm sorry to ask you about this again. When SD card is inserted, does it stick out (by how much) or it goes all the way in like DVD in its slot? Thanks.

I posted this earlier...it doesn't go all the way in but sticks out about a centimeter (I said like the same amount of the magsafe plug minus the actual cord part or...you know what-I'll insert it and take a crummy picture with my iPhone.

Sound is OK but I can't compare it...seems like the low end is missing a bit. I like there is no speaker holes though.
Thanks for clearing it up now. I was striving to search for this answer. Congratulations on your purchase. Enjoy!
Ordered one yesterday. I used my Mom's AE card because she could get points from the purchase. Apple called me and asked about the card company number. I told them this card was issued in Hong Kong and I gave them a HK company phone number. They said they would give me a response after 2-3 hours. It didn't happen.
So...
I just re-order it with master card which doesn't give any bonus point.

That's a relief to hear as a probably buyer of the 13" MBP. I was at a friend's house today and just sitting next to her browsing the web on a 13" UMB (late 08 rev, I think) kind of scared me about the screen quality. It had a crappy viewing angle. Hopefully the new screens will put those fears to rest for me.
