As soon as we can mirror with any Apple TV via Mavericks that shouldn't be an issue
This is all very impressive but it is going to take awhile before the real world effects of these drives can be admired. A Sata III SSD at this moment in time will probably open up application just as fast as this new SSD, albeit slightly faster. I can maybe see Mavericks taking advantage in terms of boot time.
your 2012 macs are definitely going slower since yesterday, and they keep slowing down if you don't buy a new one soon, so.. move on, don't waste time!
That depends on what type of flash it is and how many p/e cycles it can sustain. If it is the extended life (> 10,000 p/e cycles) type, then, I'm OK with it. If it is the cheap type (1,000-3,000 p/e cycles) then I'm not OK with it; well within the system lifetime it will slow way, way down.

You realize you just contradicted yourself?
1. Statement: The upgrades were NOT for battery life rather than performance.
2. Evidence: SAME benchmark performance.
3. Even if it is the case, it was the right decision.
Everything you said (with the exception of the SSD bit) supported the conclusion that Haswell will offer hardly any performance benefits, with almost improvements going towards battery life.
Real world scenario, unless you're running a workload that either has extreme seqential reads or writes (not likely, since you're on a small laptop with limited storage and IO options), or copied large files to and from a TB driven SSD, you're not going to see much real-world improvement from the increased speeds here.
kahkityoong, your joke was not funny!
Don't joke about the Mac Pro, it is a sensitive topic! LOL!I am just worried about the new Mac Pro's price?
Unlike the desktop/mainstream laptop Haswells, the Haswell ULT/ULX (low power laptop/tablet) processors are a single-chip design with the only supporting chip built right into the CPU package. It is almost a SOC architecture, save for the fact that not everything lives on the CPU die, but in the package.
Has any of the reviews mentioned anything about heat?
With a lower clock speed I guess the new Airs could be running cooler than the previous generation?

I just meant for the price point of the Air. Those are RIDICULOUSLY fast speeds for that price point.
How many laptops come standard with those? And are they at the same price as the Air?
darn it
this makes ditching the iPad very, very tempting.
Now that I've pulled my head out of the ooh shiny glory gaze of the new Mac Pro (which someone here politely and rightlysaid was too much machine for me), the upgrades in the Air laptops are very nice indeed.

Yeah, there isn't much of a speed bump, despite the new haswell chips being clocked lower they do perform a tiny bit faster than the previous generation..
But the Intel HD 5000 graphics upgrade is going to be a noticeable one, and also the SSD and battery life are still important upgrades in my opinion.
This is unusually impressive stuff. I wonder if Apple will do a version of this for the next full sized iPad as an energy savings and performance enhancement effort? Hmmm.
We have near perfect clarity on the next Air 2014 update. TB2 and retina.

The RDF bubble around your machine popped... Didn't you see that part of the live stream... Thats why apple has avoided them until now... ot doesnt actually affect YOUR computer toll you know about it.
That's right before when the Apple Board go behind stage with the giant magical pin!!! And the Apple magic is passed to the new devices just released into the world.
