Opinions on new MacBook Air

Does the above link work? I'm in France at moment and price shows as >€1000 :(
Wouldn't mind picking one of these up.

Edit: Being blind, select GBP from top right...

Yes it works, I've decided to get one so I'll be ordering later.. delivery wise are we looking at it potentially coming back the weekend?

Ordered now, now the waiting game :D

Decisions decisions, I'd really prefer the 13" but this just seems like a great deal.
Only thing that turns me off is 1366x768, it really is a hateful resolution. :(

Will have a think, that battery life and the SSD speed can not be ignored!
 
Well my card was declined and now when I reorder I get this

Make sure your delivery address is the same as the credit card address.

That solved it for me a few week s ago when I ordered from play.
 
Guys how can I tell if my Mid 2012 MBA battery is draining too fast? I have bluetooth off, screen brightness at the lowest, backlit keyboard off and get 2 hours?

Sorry to hop in on this thread but it looked like the closest place to ask :D

Thanks

Surely it's obvious that something isn't right there?

Could be a rogue application in the background, a dying battery, or something that requires a reinstall.

Having only owned the unit for a few weeks I'm afraid it isn't that obvious, hence the post, will strip all the app's back and test again tonight

Many thanks

You'll find that you should be getting around 6.5 hours or so if you're doing tasks that aren't particularly intensive. However if you're pushing it, you'll get little more than 2 hours or so, as you've experienced.
 
Yeah, I've seen that. Looks like it will take 16Gb though so I've decided on a 13" MBP and will have to live with the 700g weight difference
 
Well hard to tell what exactly you'll use it for; pros and cons to both.

Will that match the battery life of the mac though? will you need it to? Do you need windows? Will you travel a lot with it?

Money wise I guess OcUK is better but again depends on your needs etc

That cant be right. People say they can get around 8 hours battery life. 2 hours why bother then?
