^ I keep seeing speculative stuff like this that reinforces my expectation that the Air is slowly devolving into an ipad with a keyboard. Apple really does seem to be gearing up for a simultaneous release of Lion and the new Air, the latter of which I reckon will be Apple's biggest push yet into the mass laptop market.

'er indoors is going bonkers with our horribly outdated and clunky Dell Inspiron running Ubuntu 11.04 (Unity is still weird enough and buggy enough to be a problem for her), and we just got a hefty tax return, so I'm thinking about grabbing her one of these new Airs. They need to not be $1200 though. I'm hoping that the new one does turn out to be an upsized ipad of sorts and slides in well under a grand.

why does "apple are releasing a new air" = "air is devolving into ipad with keybaord"?

maybe if you let er outdoors once in a while she would stop going bonkers

she hated computers until she discovered facebook

Steve Jobs takes a shower? iPad with a keyboard any day now.

Let's pool our cash to buy one for AA!

FWIW, I started this thread: Mac OS X Lion 10.7

oh yeah lion was supposed to be out wednesday wasn't it? the internet lies :(

Dudes is there a Mac-to-Mac Skype alternative that older Macs can run? Just about out of patience with Skype, which appears to have become a giant sack of shit.

iChat? Or is there something better?

(Facetime not an option because of my mom's old OS... I think she's on 10.5)

have you tried skype 2.x? it still works and is much lighter.

My complaint w/nu-Skype isn't so much its interface or RAM requirements, but video quality has become terrible - unsynced audio, big lags, dropouts, camera not working

old one is worth a try

iChat works pretty great for that.

what's the problem with skype on a mac? I have 5.0 and it seemed fine the few times I used it.

dont dis Skype! software engineers made it!

App Store prices adjusted in half a dozen countries. Aus ~15% better off, UK ~15% worse off. Speculation that prices of this week's new hardware could follow suit.

So, for real, Lion tomorrow.

i don't know, it just gets out of sync for me all the time now, and never did before. and the video's choppy. i have an older computer, though. maybe it's not an issue if you've got a newer one.

RIP Macbook 2006-2011

good

ugh no macbooks under $1,000 here, that's disappointing.

how much better is this new sandybridge processor? what exactly were you doing on a macbook air before that this new proc will help significantly?

The Mini is $599 or £529, a $254 (42 per cent) mark-up in the UK.

Can't wait for Gruber to ignore this one.

It's a lot better than the old £699 or whatever. Previous-but-1 mini was £499, so it's sort of back in line.

want 13" air

fuck this heavy ass bullshit macbook pro

i mean 'pro' come on b serious

i need 'air'

i know cpr

i listen to npr

getting new top of the line macbook air [via work] aw yeah

i just woke up so forgive me but

holy shit rip white macbook -- *hugs own white macbook* -- all of my friends who have a mac have one rip miss u see u

trying to score a MBA for cheap since everybody's tryna unload for the new ones, but everybody got the 2GB version wtf RAM is good dudes

whoa is it true u cant upgrade the ram on macbook airs??? weak

i've got like 5gb back after lion install, thank u apple for not making all this new useless shit i'll never use take up more space

they do an 8gb build-to-order option but it's basically hermetically sealed to end users i think

whoa is it true u cant upgrade the ram on macbook airs??? weak

yah it's soldered directly onto the board iirc

did they even update the airs? what's new?

Thunderbolt, i5/i7 (2x faster), backlit keyboard

oooh i5, just noticed that... OK I'm in

should I 11 or 13?!

11 is awesome; 13 might be too big to take everywhere? 11 + monitor killer imo

was thinking that, too

i need 'air'

although i was also thinking that since i'm gonna be getting my new stuff w/an educational loan and discount, i might just pop for the lowest-end Air and the higher-end 21.5" iMac. the difference between that and a high-end 11" and a 27" display is only 250 bucks!

i've had a 15" for ages now (and a 12") before that, so while a 27" would be ~amazing~, i'd rather have the horsepower of an iMac instead of the space/wow of a larger screen (though it would be dope for movies)

tho i guess an alternative would be horsier 27" imac and an ipad
