Nice pics, thanks for posting those. Using the other items next to it really helped me get an idea of it's size.

Would be interested in feedback on how it deals with streaming video, such as Hulu, Netflix etc... As if the fan kicks on full speed, how is the fan noise etc..

Also does the bottom get hot vs warm, I expect it to warm up, but the Rev B I had would cook your damn legs if you weren't careful do to the poorly designed vents on the bottom. The new hinge should take care of this issue but curious to hear about it's performance.

Congrats! and enjoy, looking forward to any feedback when you have time. :)

I streamed about 5 minutes of Hulu full screen. No problems. Very minimal heat. I mean you would hardly notice it.

Thanks for the feedback, however I'm curious how it holds up heat wise after 30 or 45 mins, or a full TV show. Clearly lots of requests for feedback so I'll check back over the next few days to see how it's going.

I am thinking the improved GPU and the new hinge/cooling setup should make it run pretty damn smooth vs the older MBA's without having to use "coolbook" and the like. I don't really care about 720p video as most of the Hulu and Netflix are Stand def anyhow. Anyhow, thanks for testing it out, look forward to ongoing feedback.

Thanks! that is great

Looks like 11" MBA has Ultra Low Voltage CPU and probably 13" MBA has Low Voltage CPUs.

Now, battery life makes sense. 5 hours for 11" and 7 hours for 13" ( and 13" will have bigger battery also)
