I really love most aspects of my Air. I got it soon after it came out. In fact my AppleCare expires June 15th.

Issues: too darn slow, overheats anything multimedia, hard drive too small
Upside: size can't be beat, backlit keyboard has spoiled me.

When the new Airs came out a short while back, I was ready to grab one. Oops, no backlit keyboard. Game over on that. I'm on planes and my 49 year old eyes have gotten very used to this feature.

So, I figured, wait for MBP refresh. Was going for the 13, but I plan on keeping this for 3-5 years and wanted a quad core and a bit more resolution than the 13's offer.

Today, Fed Ex will be dropping off a 15 with a high Rez upgrade and the 7200x speed hard drive. I'm very stoked. Crazy part is that the Airs are still fetching a halfway decent resale value on Fleabay.
