New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

fullscreen apps are great bait for windows trolls

don't understand fullscreen as a selling point. whole point of the development of the gui was to get around that. if you generally have that much trouble with distraction then, i dunno, stop reading lifehacker articles about fullscreen text editors and do some work.

Pricing: 11.6-inch/64 GB at $999, 128 GB at $1199. 13-inch/128 GB at $1299, 256 GB at $1599. All with 2 GB of RAM. All available today.

they seem to have finally understood what an ultraportable laptop is, right after they've obsoleted ultraportable laptops. odd move. don't expect the ipad/macbook line to look much like this in two years.

ooft, nice pricing too

how do people afford these things!

was just going to say, facetiously, not sure what these can do that my ipad can't, esp. with only 2gb non-expandable memory.

fullscreen is really useful in aperture, i can see there might be other times that it helps: it's about making better use of the screen space than distraction really.

will almost certainly get one of these next year.

i'll allow it.

To get to 30-day standby, they're going to have to hibernate to SSD. Not sure how that translates to "instant-on."

don't think so. before hibernate was added (2005?) they got 30 days of instant-on sleep in RAM

my 2000 ibook could do it, for example

Like the little USB recovery stick, though:

xxpost - My 2000 iBook doesn't get 30 days, especially with 2GB of RAM. It gets more like 5 days (and that's with a new battery).

your 2000 ibook has 2GB of RAM?

i dunno, stop reading lifehacker articles about fullscreen text editors and do some work.

hahaha *guiltily nods*

sorry, mine is a 2006 MacBook, not an iBook.

reading £849 for the 11", is that confirmed?

schwantz what is that "recovery stick" for?

hangover aid suppository

stated instant-on sleep time was always 30 days before hibernate was added. i got it myself a couple of times with 512MB RAM. i have no trouble believing that with batteries that have advanced through about seven generations of chemistry since then (my MBP gets 9 real-world hours!), this new MBA can sleep in RAM for 30 days.

recovery stick = restore factory state or run the recovery/password utils currently on the DVDs, presumably

35WH battery. From reading some DDR3 specs, self-refresh power of 2GB of RAM is about 84mW, then the system would last 17.4 days in standby. This assumes that NOTHING else in the system is drawing power.

I thought maybe this meant they were using LPDDR2 in the MBA, but no...

czn: http://www.apple.com/uk/macbookair/

usual mo with hibernate is to go to sleep for ~20 hours then hibernate. You get instant on in 90% of cases.

Fair enough...

O.o

Maybe they're finally fixing iTunes so it can handle a library as big as mine without pausing and beachballing every few minutes?

Streaming? as per rumors.

yeah that's my guess
