So the general consensus is... If getting an 11" Air, get it with the upgraded processor and 4GB of RAM because who the gently caress would get a laptop with 2GB nowadays and If getting a 13" Air, the base model is fine? My old Dell D430 tiny laptop is on its way out, time to look for a new laptop and these look like they'll fit the bill nicely. I'm not even going to consider getting the 11" with 2GB of RAM as that is dumb. I'm heavily leaning towards the 13" as the screen resolution is much nicer than the 1366x768 bullshit on the 11".

Why would I order a Macbook that I'm not customizing from the Apple store and pay tax and get lovely shipping when I can buy it from Amazon for 5% less with 2 day shipping and no tax? I guess the student discount would give me a $100 App Store card, but other than that I'm stumped as to why you would order a base model from the Apple store?

Everyone is saying that they're good until September 8th on ebay? edit: Ah, it needs to be claimed by the 8th of August, alrighty. Guess I'll grab one off ebay for $40 and use it.

zenthursdays posted:So I just got my new MacBook Pro, replaced the RAM, and replaced the stock drive with a SSD. I didn't create a Lion install disk because someone mentioned Lion Internet Recovery. But now when I go to boot holding command-R I get a flashing folder with a ? over it. Any thoughts as to why I can't seem to start recovery? It needs to actually have the internet recovery software on there, with a blank HD nothing will happen.

JP Money posted:Apple is really dropping the ball with Macbook Air supplies. I sold my MBA weeks ago with hopes of picking up the new 13 inch model and they still haven't refreshed it at BB. Sounds like other non-Apple retailers are either sold out or are jacking the price up to above-reasonable prices. They're selling like crazy and priority is given to Apple stores. I waited like a month for mine to arrive from Amazon, but saving $350 off the price and no tax was worth it with that coupon code they had a month ago.

decypher posted:Return the RAM and get the proper speed. It may work, but it also probably won't work. And if it does work you'll have to live with the knowledge that your RAM is running 200mhz slower than your computer is capable of handling You will never notice that different in RAM speed, anyway.

Welp, my under 2 month old Macbook Air magsafe charger is dead, tried multiple outlets, tried both different tips, tried leaving it unplugged for a day and still nothing, no lights. Time to go to the Apple store this weekend

Bob Morales posted:I'd say your chances of getting a Toshiba would be even higher, due to the buyers who would return it for that sole reason. And you'll notice 0 difference between drives in just about anything you'll do on the laptop, so who cares?
