Sex Core i5 and i7 Macbook Airs arrive

[old.user4556]

I meant to post this on Friday, but a much needed refresh to the Macbook Air has arrived. This is exactly what I was looking for as the previous spec was pretty sub standard given the price.

Apple - MacBook Air - The ultimate everyday notebook. - Apple Store (UK)

Sorry, correction; looks like it's just i5's for now.

No, Core i7 is available as an option - but only on the 11 inch 128GB and the 13 inch 256GB. The lowest 11 and 13 inch doesn't give you an option to change CPU.

Pffft my new lappy has a Core i7 (Dell XPS 15z), rubbish MacBook















*escapes*

why pay so much for 13 inch?!?! don't understand my self. I know some people prefer mac OS for some reason, but prices are crazy for what hardware you get.

256 Gig is not exactly mind-blowing....

It's rather shite, but if you're running a NAS raid setup which stores all your music, videos and photos then the need for a large disk is mitigated.

It's an SSD, what were you expecting? 240-256GB of flash storage isn't cheap.

£1,349.00

That's not exactly cheap either.

Let's say £349.00 for the SSD so that leaves us with £1,000.00. It hasnt even got the best CPU, uses the build in gfx and has just 4GB of mem. I would have thought the Apple experiance would have left some room in the budget for another disk.
