Just bought a base 13inch i5 model from oakridge in Vancouver BC....
128 samsung and samsung screen... I didn't care which models I got.. the difference is so small, the average person wouldn't know the difference.
People are exchange their toshiba's and LG screens hoping to get a Samsung... that's ridiculous. I own a Vertex 3 and crucial c300 SSD... the difference in speed on benchmarks are huge... but in real world situations you wouldn't notice a single thing. write/read speeds are only couple seconds difference.
If this site wasn't available, the people here who took back their toshiba SSD would love their toshiba SSD without knowing it.

I got the two **** ones, and you know what? I don't give a crap.
amazing screen, very fast, I couldn't be more happy with it. I think it is actually kind of pathetic that people are returning there macbook airs just because a few STATS and other programs say it isn't as good.
in reality there probably isn't that much difference when using it in real life.

13 inch ultimate.
SSD: SM256C
Display: LTH133BT01A03
I think the ultimate machines are more likely to have Samsung SSDs. I can't tell a difference between the Samsung and LG LCDs. Of course, can't tell the difference between a Samsung and Toshiba SSD either.

I have the 13" base and originally had the Toshiba SSD and LG display, but I exchanged because it had dark patches at the bottom of the screen. The replacement model i got has the Samsung SSD and display.
I can't tell any difference with the SSD, but i did feel that the screen was noticeably nicer from the moment i turned it on.
Now that my screen is perfect and i'm also happy that i've got the double samsung combo, i now have a creaky/clicky macbook air. My previous MBA did make a slight click/creak when moved, but not as much and as loud as this one. I don't want to return it because i'm afraid that a replacement i get would be defective in some other way and i want to keep the double samsung combo. So i've ordered the 5 point petalobe screwdriver from iFixit and will loosen the screws and reseat the bottom cover.

Hello, I just bought my first ever Mac (MBA 13") and came up with the Toshiba SSD (APPLE SSD TS256C) and this for the display: LTH133BT01A03.
Is that LG or Samsung?
I also have some additional questions:
Thank you very much!

I also have some additional questions:
- What would be a good software to run SSD benchmarks on my Macbook?
- How can I spot dead pixels?
Thank you very much!
13" i5 256 gb
Display: LTH133BT01A03
SSD: TS256C
As expected, the ssd is extremely slow. Jk

Replaced my 2010 MBA 11" Ultimate with this BTO 2011 Core i7 4GB 128GB 11".
Display:LP116WH4-TJA3
SSD:APPLE SSD SM128C
Seems like I got the good SSD this time. Not sure about the display. Looks good to me

I've gone thru 3 13" MBA 256 GB SSD
The first one was a 13" MBA Ultimate. Got a Samsung Panel and a Toshiba SSD.
The next two were i5 13" MBA and both had Samsung Panels and SSDs.
I returned the Ultimate because I bought it the first day out and didn't use my wife's student discount. The second time around I decided to down grade to the i5 since I was just going to use the MBA mostly for web surfing. I returned that because I was able to order the same model with the Kindle Special Offers coupon for $1230.

i got samsung 256gb ssd and LG screen 
i'm very satisfied.. though the screen looks horrible compared to my 27 inch hazro <3 i use on my desktop
i won't be crying about the monitor or ssd performance.. because i don't have anything slower or faster to compare it to.. well apart from my out of league desktop pc.. wouldn't be fair

Got a 13" base, was SM128C / LG panel. It got replaced due to creaking, with a SM128C/LG panel again. Returned, needed more space, got a 13" ultimate and its a SM256C / LG panel. Will enter in Google spreadsheet.
