2011 Mba Owners, share your ssd model and display model here

[usman.rz]

What panel is:

LP116WH4-TJA3

LG Phillips is you base it off the LP.

13" base model:

Display: LP133WP1-TJA3

So then Samsung SSD and LG-Phillips display

13" i7:
SM256C
LTH133BT01A03

I guess they are good, right?

 

[Tootles]

The SSD is not soldered-in. (click that to see a teardown of the 2011 MBA).

Yes you got lucky. The Samsung SSD is significantly faster than the Toshiba.

Samsung ssd

But LG Philips screen.

thanks. not to worried about the screen. it still look nice to me. anyone know a good way to see if there are any dead pixels?

 

[N1zmo]

LG Phillips is you base it off the LP.

Is the Samsung screen really better or is it a matter of opinion?

 

[eeptman]

Yes you got lucky. The Samsung SSD is significantly faster than the Toshiba.

Thanks. I am so glad to have my new MBA.

When I was researching the 2011 15" MacBook Pro with HR matte screen, I thought designers on the Apple discussion forums were saying they preferred the LG displays because the whites were more accurate. I might be mistaken, but even if not, these are different displays/sizes. Does anyone know what I'm referring to?

 

[stevenpa]

Reading the threads it seems the Samsung has better viewing angles, but the difference is not that much.

 

[magbarn]

Why worry about this, when you can upgrade to an SSD from OWC that's both bigger and better? Is Apple soldering the SSD in now after all?

256gb is enough. And who in their right mind would pay for OWC ridiculous prices?!

 

[melterx12]

Is the Samsung screen really better or is it a matter of opinion?

both screens are about equal quality. I'm guessing most people would prefer a samsung panel because samsung is known to make great HDTV panels.

 

[Infoteaka]

20 to 25% slower...

This article from May claims that the Samsung SSD reads 25% faster and writes 20% faster than the Toshiba:

I picked up a 13" MBA today, disappointed to find out it came with the Toshiba SSD

If you need 480GB flash storage in the MBA, it's the only game in town.

Here's for my 13" Ultimate. Are they both Samsung?

[KPOM]

11" 1.8GHz Core i7:Samsung SSD SM256C, LP116WH4-TJA3 display on mine.

There seems to be a pattern. Samsung SSDs with Philips displays, or Toshiba SSDs with the 9CDF display.

 

[rabid snake]

LG seems to ring a bell for that particular display.

If you've ever got a Samsung display before you'll be able to tell the difference. If not, then you have nothing to compare it to, so all is good

Just checked my display through terminal and it spat out LTH116AT01A04 which I'm guessing is Samsung actually!

Not always. Mine has both made by Samsung.
