MacBook air 11" .. anyone got one yet?

I'm visting Sweden at the moment and just seen these in a MacForum shop at 9500kr for the base model and 11500kr for the 128Gb. Thats roughly £960 and £1150 respectively. And you thought the UK was expensive.... :)

Interestingly they have a 4Gb RAM 128Gb HDD 11" MBA on their site too for 12500 kr, roughly £1250.

The 27" i5 iMac is a cool £2k vs £1650 in the UK.

Nope, 2Gb version.

It does struggle a bit once you have Win7 up with 1Gb allocated but it's surprisingly capable.

I'm about to eBay my 2Gb/64Gb and buy a 128Gb/4Gb unit.
 
From http://www.anandtech.com/show/3991/apples-2010-macbook-air-11-13inch-reviewed:

"For me, I’d have to own the 11-inch [MacBook Air], plus a 15-inch MacBook Pro plus my desktop. That’s three machines, plus a smartphone and I’d be set. I’d carry the 11-inch on most business trips, the 15-inch for big shows that I’d have to cover and any heavier work I’d do at home on the desktop. I don’t mind the setup, it’s just a costly setup to have."


I've managed to resist buying a 11" for a week. Not sure I can hold out much longer though :(.


EDIT: http://www.macworld.com/article/155224/2010/10/macbookairbto_benchmarks.html have done benchmarks of the higher specified MacBook Airs.

This was pretty much my thought the other day bar the smart phone bit.

I like the Air for it's size and convenience, but the 15inch would give you some grunt when away from home for a longer period of time. Then a desktop at home, so that's lots of £££ :(

The 11inch is still tempting me though
 
Guys im going to Miami soon and thinking of getting one of these...I have worked it out to be around £680 and so its nearly £200 cheaper than over here.
Will i be ok with warranties etc or is it limited to USA if i buy there.
 
After lugging my 15" MacBook Pro around Uni today I'm seriously considering getting a MacBook Air.

My Pro has run out of battery after four hours, and for working out and about on at Uni I don't really need the extra umph my Pro has over Air.

Odds of the Apple Store having a 4GB and max CPU 13" Air instock? Or are the upgraded RAM/CPU models online only?
