Opinions on new MacBook Air

I don't believe that this has been posted anywhere, but I have noticed that they have released an update concerning the wireless problems.

Mine didn't appear to, as it switched between the router and phone hotspot effortlessly.

Updated it on Day 2 of owning it, so i'm guessing I will never see the issue.

How did you get on? Interested to know what the range is like on these. I've got the previous gen 3tb TC and I'm looking to swap to the new 3TB one.

Thinking the new layout will lead to better signal strength.

Also quite interested in peoples thoughts on SSD size. I definitely think 256GB is the lowest we can get away with, but I'm now thinking it might not be big enough to include bootcamp. All we would have on the Windows partition is Windows (currently got Win 7 on this MBP, but would consider Win 8 if its worth the step up) and Office 2007. So I'm thinking chuck Windows 100 GB to be sure its got space in case I want to throw on a few games/whatever, and then 156GB for the Mac Side.

Thoughts?
 
I have 256Gb in mine, and I have my rather large iTunes folders, pictures, Rome total war, garageband (all loops), office and minecraft installed along with the OS X stuff, and I have 198Gb left or the 'useable' 250Gb.

Just a basic idea for that storage size. :)
 
Mine is due for delivery on 29th. Can't wait, my 2nd Mac product. I still use my iPad 2 daily. Gone for the i7, 8GB and 256GB SSD.

I have just that my friend. may I just say that is an Excellent Laptop. Best Ive ever owned. I have the X1 Carb, X220, Retina etc but the Airbook for me is by far the best.
 
I have that setup and love it. Never had a laptop before, but had to concede to having one with wanting to use my own machine at Uni as well as having portability. Absolutely brilliant, and have seen the battery monitor saying I can get well over 15 hours off light usage. Not tried it for a full use yet though, but hammering it in Rome: Total War gets it warm and kills the battery in around 3 hours. And my god, it is FAST.

Here is my Cinebench result:

New 13" Air arrived a couple of days ago. i7/256/8GB and couldn't be happier with it so far. First mac since the performa 6200 i had as a kid!
 
I need at least 1920 x 1080 to work efficiently so it's a shame they've stuck with such a low resolution on these models. :(
