The Macbook Air wireless card is fairly sensitive (unscientific observation)

[unr1]

On campus, my friend's MBP (last year's model) gets the same if not worse wireless signal.

We always study at this one particular location with low wireless signal and on occasion I do drop signal completely but most of the time it holds steady. Slow but steady

Just wanted to let you guys know in case you thought the wifi card wasn't up to par
Oh, this is 802.11g and I'm running on battery the entire time.

I love my MBA

The Airport cards in Macs are very sensitive. My Blackbook gets a signal in the furthest reaches of my house. I've yet to see a non-Apple computer get signal there. If only the same could be said about iDevices.

I'm noticing the opposite - the 11" 2010 MBA has worse reception on 5 GHz than the 2009 model. The reception on 2.4 GHz is fine.
