Some nicely observed comparisons from another forum:














The bottom two pics are packaging for install discs.

Timeless.

The whole set of pictures are really quite lovely.

To bring things down to a crass, commercial level, the experience cost him $2,553.

Just been down the Apple store and had a quick go on the mac book air they had on display:





Very nice indeed in the flesh and lot more alluring that I expected to be. A nice surprise is that it feels exceptionally sturdy, I was worried the Air would be a delicate little flower of a machine that'd snap as soon as you looked at. The reality is quite the opposite, probably as good as a heavy frying pan for smacking people around the head with.

They had no actual machines to buy and wasn't sure when they would.

Was that the southampton store? I didn't bother looking in yesterday when walking by as I presumed they wouldn't have any in yet! If so, bollocks

Yeah it is, they got them in late yesterday.

Was it snappy?

Ahh that might explain why I didn't spot them from the door. To be fair I've always been harsh on the southampton store as when I initially went there was around the intel transition and the people there weren't up to date. But when I purchased my Mini there were plenty of staff who really "got" macs and weren't just trying to sell me iPods.

It's still an Apple Cupboard though, although I really like the retail experience of having someone bringing a shiny bag of mac to you! Took bloody ages mind. Is the London apple store like this too now with the concierge (sp?) taking an order on the showroom floor and then running off to fetch it for you?

Oh and i don't suppose you managed to fire up system profiler and see if it was flash based?

Of course I did It was the 1.6ghz 4200rpm 80gb HD. With everything they'd installed there was 39gb left so with the SDD you're looking around only 19gb after the standard install.
