MacBook Airs Coming 'Late Next Week'

[JAT]

I was fighting a Core i7 with 12 GiB for almost 2 years. Finally decided this spring that the 4 GiB DIMMs had dropped enough in price, and upgraded to 24 GiB.

Great for a few months, now I'm starting to get into serious paging situations - but my chipset won't support 48 GiB.

You could try one of these:

Man im getting confused, with cult of mac saying that lion will be released on the 26th but the MBAs will be released next week and no other site saying that lion will be released on the 26th. I thought they were holding back the MBAs for lion I doubt theyd now release them before. Im guessing Lion tomorrow and tuesday or thursday for MBAs

The 26th rumor comes from Apple's pictures.

Its a toss up when stuff happens right now. I'm waiting for Midnight PST, to see if Lion will be released this week, a head of the conference call, and then new products next week.

We'll all see.

Ughhh! I want Xcode in fullscreen!! ! Please come soon!

 

[AidenShaw]

What do you do that requires 48GB of RAM?

It's that 24 GiB isn't enough..

 

[RobertMartens]

I wan't Mac Pro's announced

How can you accidentally type an apostrophe, twice?
Having said that, I want Mac Pros too!

Let US decide whether whether we want to install their new crapstore-only OS.

You know it's not called crapstore.

Crappstore is owned and registered by FAndroid and Goooogle

Hey, did you know that there is no such thing as 12 am or 12 pm.

Actually in Missouri, we do refer to midnight as 12 am.

12 pm is known as noon though.

The Apple Website has images of Lion on the Mac OS X page, one had 17th of July, and one had the 26th.

I hope this rumor for once is TRUE

Nice if they really do get backlit keyboard - very nice indeed

The one thing I miss in my MBA, beside a faster CPU, is backlit keys.

weird, my MBA has had a backlit keyboard for years !

did Apple take that feature away in the new MBA's ?

On the Apple Support Communities page, there is no more reference to any of the MacBook range, at least not from my iPhone. Interesting?

Still there

Or was until it went down.

Laptops are for access to web/email while you're mobile. No one should expect a lightweight laptop to offer top notch performance.

I have low expectations of the MacBook Air. Now something with 4 RAM slots and dual hard drives in a luggable form factor is another story. I still eye the ASUS G74.

Today, I did pay too much - since only the EVGA card is available today.

Not much choice, though. I wanted a Fermi card that was single slot. The 520 cards are quite anemic, no other GT-5xx cards exist in single slot configs. More powerful dual-slot cards exist for lower prices - but not an option. ATI not an option - gawd I hate ATI.

The GT 545 while somewhat overpriced does those requirements. I would have suggested a single slot HD 5770 or HD 6850 if that would meet your requirements as well. The GT 545 does not require 6-pin power though. If you have two monitors on the GT 545, what is the third monitor attached to?

Now, the Apple Support Communities page is down for maintenance.

I listed my current gen 13.3 Air on eBay like, pronto today.

I'm sorry but, could this be to set up Lion support for a midnight release PST?

It'd be Friday and explain the "overnights" that were apparently tonight instead of last night....

A lot of people are getting excited I bet.

It's that 24 GiB isn't enough..

What do you do that 24GB isn't enough? Just curious.

 

[coolbreeze]

Yes, I lost $260 for 3 months of use, but whatever. It's sold and shipping out tomorrow.
