According to the rumors, they don't come out till summer! I was okay with waiting until the new MBPs came out, but after being sorely disappointed, I will wait no longer! Getting Macbook Air ASAP!
I don't NEED it now, but I would LIKE it now.![]()
exactlyif you want your mba with sandy bridge, then wait. But, you will get intel 3000 hd graphic with it. Enjoy playing games with that. You will be able to play, but gpu performance will be worse than 320m.
Battery life will not be likely be improved, either. Notice how all the mbp got 7 hours of battery life rating? It used to be 8-10 hours.
Apple wasn't able to stick in dedicated graphic card on 13 inch mbp, so how they are going to do that on 13 mba or 11 mba? Nope.
There is no guarantee mba will come this summer.
Since mbp just got updated. I would expect ipad to be next, then move on macbook and imac. I don't expect mba update until fall.
that a boy!
we dont even know for sure if there is gonna be a refresh or not...i personally doubt it but others dont. the average refresh time for the air is 365 days
Disagree this rev D update was a huge one, therefore it will be at least a year before they upgrade it again.yes..it has been..for the old models..the new models will be refreshed much sooner....no doubt...

because it basically a new line of airs I believe you will see the refresh much earlier...and there has been speculation on this board...as with all opinions...time will tell
speculation is just that but you are right anything is possible, but i still doubt they would update it so soon no point, the soonest they have ever updated the air was 8 months which would put the nest update in June however i doubt they would do it then with the pending iphone 5 release and lately they have been updating the macbook in May thus thy wouldnt want to space it that close so maybe like others have said October, but i still think they would wait a little longer, figuring they update the macbook pros again around November thus saving the MPA for JAN/FEB.
I say june is a good bet...thats about 9 months from launch.
Great machine no matter when you get it.

I say wait until june. the SB processor will allow you to run photoshop, 1080p, etc. with relative ease. the current MBA struggles with photoshop and 1080p. It is also very possible that the next update will bring thunderbolt and additional HD space.
