Cant wait. By the way, I know there are people (like me!) who are disappointed that the Air lost the lighted keyboard (for size, price, power, who knows). But theres a test you should try on a lighted-keyboard Mac sometime:
1. Darken the room completely. Even turn the screen itself down almost to off.
2. Turn the key lights off completely. You wont be able to see the letters anymore! When unlit they are gray (not even white) and that just cant be seen well on a black key in near-darkness.
3. BUT notice that you can still see the silver aluminum spaces between the keys just fine. The key-shapes are clearly visible, because metallic silver reflects even a little bit of screen light.
The good news: the current Airs dont have gray-on-black letters like the ones on the lighted keyboards. They have metallic silver letters, and are MUCH easier to see than the old keys when unlit.
And they achieve visibility with no power usage, so in some ways its an improvement. Just not as cool![]()
With you all the way, plus the Air is awarded an extra F-key - I can't say it enough times, that is far more useful than a backlit keyboard.
