[pokediamondcheats]

[ilovmc]

i probably wont buy it ill get a cheap used mac for like $600 but when im in post secondary ill think about getting it

[Semt1]

i spy a pokemon theme tune album at 0:40

[cornholio777]

macBook air is a netbook. yea i said it.

[atherrien95]

Yes. I was replying to phelikz who was asking if it's a big enough difference.

[atherrien95]

bullshit, it's already free.

[MattMarque]

Is this sped up? I timed it on my phone, and it seems as if it's off by about 15 seconds per minute. If so, it would also explain the sound lag.

[Jferrari427]

Hello is this computer new for $1350 a good deal? I just bought this on ebay new sealed for $1350 - 1.86GhZ, 128GB SSD drive REV B. Have you had any problems with it at all?

[phelikz]

do you think the 2.13 is a big different from 1.86?

[atherrien95]

it's 270mhz difference

I used to have the new macbook pro, it kinda sucked, i traded it for a 2 year old macbook air and this runs a lot better than the pro did. my question is, can you recommend a fun game that can be played without the drive attached? I am looking for something like virtual drive like i used on my netbook

[johnbarrowman]

I enjoy Command and Conquer Red Alert 3, it does not require the DVD at all

[johnmonk66]

thanks, I will check it out

[JSantana319]

@johnmonk66 Did you get the MBA with the solid state drive or the regular hard drive?

[johnmonk66]

@JSantana319 I had the first generation with the hard drive, I plan on buying another one someday, sorry I sold it

[tipoomaster]

Is that the processor useage up there? Seems like even something simple like opening safari maxes it out, or is that because of the recording app?

[johnbarrowman]

those red and green bars are Internet access, up and down.

[ajsg09]

audio lag?

[Quadamag3]

For High Performance Apps - an SSD in the Air is an absolute must.

I'm running the Rev.B 1.6GHz, 9400M & 120GB 4,200RPM Hard Drive and whilst general use such as Photoshop, Remote Desktop, Server Admin, WGM, QuarkXpress, iMovie etc are all fine and can all run simultaneously - thing's that cause the read and write ratio to go up really bog it down.

Still, incredible machine and one that put's all Atom-based notebooks to shame.

[johnmonk66]

since you mentioned atom based netbooks i had to comment, lol. i had the new macbook pro a few weeks ago, and it sucked compared to my acer netbook, no joke. so i traded the brand new pro for a 2 year old macbook air, and i could not be happier.

i can't explain why, but the macbook air runs everything better than the macbook pro did, no joke

[shooptube]

1 question idk if i will use up too many gb. all i do is web surf a little music some videos and a little call of duty also little other minor things. is 128 gb enough for me? also is it enough for u?

[johnbarrowman]

128GB is a good size for what you're doing

:)

[DeoxySynchro89]

Wow! I'm shocked to know that MacBook Air can even played Red Alert 3 smoothly? Is it under max detail?

[Andybadtothebone]

Will you do a Call of duty 4 test on it?

[johnbarrowman]

Call of Duty 4 was installed on my Air two months ago - it ran pretty smoothly, almost no lag unless there were huge gun fights with a ton of soldiers. I eventually uninstalled it because the game wasn't too interesting to me :)

[shooptube]

was it smooth on lowest setting because if so then im getting so on lowest settings was it good?

[johnbarrowman]

real smooth even on medium really

[lschlachter1]

why is my sound like 15 seconds off sync?!

[johnbarrowman]

That is my video, the sound is really out of sync.

[johnbarrowman]

The Sims 3 is a great game, and it runs great on MacBook Air. Even though you must load the entire neighborhood, the Air handles it neatly - I'm unsure if the solid-state drive in my notebook adds to performance of Sims 3, compared to the base-model hard drive.

[dotMacintosh]

The Sims 3 going pretty nice on a MacBook Pro on max settings and 1440x900 =D

[johnbarrowman]

haha !!! you have a keen eye.

what is your itunes library like?

[shaazy]

Hey, could you by any chance report the battery time on the 128GB SSD under general and heavy usage?

[johnbarrowman]

Sure - a full charge provides a pretty neat 3 to 4.5 hour charge (going from highest brightness and wifi to mid-brightness and no-wifi).

THe only concern is with the charging times themselves.  This usually takes about 3 to 4 hours too because of the smaller, less needy MagSafe adapter.

[shaazy]

Man, I would've easily gone for it if it wasn't for the battery life. You can't have such a portable machine and only max out at 3-4 hours.

Guess I'll have to wait around for its next incarnation.

[johnbarrowman]

Remember, the battery in the Air is located at its thinnest point. The battery takes up two thirds of the machine too, so the next revision will probably have a similar battery up-time - unless Apple can use a special technology inside it.

[laptopfreakazoid]

Stewie is right! Something is wrong! The audio of this video is all messed up and in different places!

[xxSummerslightxx]

too hard meaning at all.

[NorwegainGirl22]

Only if you don't drop it too hard!

[Kitttens89]

I'd rather save my money and get a good laptop thanks.

[MagnoMidnight]
