Apple shyly does not advertise its graphics performance. The overall performance is not that huge improvement. Looks like an okay update, not breathtaking.
The mac mini seems a more exciting update with discrete graphics.

Though I'm no longer in the market, this was a huge mistake Apple made when they removed this from the last rev.

LOL.. I'm on the config page myself and can't decide whether 150 more for the i7 is really worth it...

Backlit Keyboard - Check
Thunderbolt - Check
Sandy Bridge - Check
Help, I've never bought a new Mac and didn't have something to complain about. 🙂
Edit: Found a complaint. 😉 Is 256GB storage the only difference between the two 13" Airs? I know it's SSD but $300 seems like a lot for only 128GB more. Are these models any easier for upgrading th SSD yourself?

In Retail Tomorrow
Saw this in other thread (credit to the guy who found it)
Retail availability is tomorrow:
With up to twice the performance of the previous generation, flash storage for instant-on responsiveness and a compact design so portable you can take it everywhere,* the MacBook Air starts at $999 (US) and is available for order today and in stores tomorrow.

When they say retail stores, do they also mean Best Buy?
I'm half tempted to walk into Best Buy or this local Apple store and see what kind of discount I could get on any old 2010 airs today.
