Finally! I'm so excited for Turn-by-turn. I missed that feature the most from my Droid X. It's a major selling point for Android phones, which why I suspected we never got it through the Google iMap. Street view would be nice, Google might r…

If the 15" is the powerhouse with portability that I hope it, I may have to try and pawn my Air off and get one.

The problem with these computers is that they might undercut the Macbook Airs, but only $50 or $100 frankly isn't going to cut it. They forget the allure and "cool factor" of Macs. My college is pretty much full of Macs, and when kids don't have one…

I never expected Apple to drastically redesign the iPhone just one year after a major redesign. It costs too much R&D, and if you upgrade when the redesigns come out, then you have to wait 2 years anyway because of your phone carrier contract. A…

I never understood why anyone wouldn't just buy an iMac for $100 more (well $200 if not a student). They advertise it as being the perfect accompaniment to the MBAir, but you might as well get an iMac and have a quad-core processor and better graphi…

I hope this will lead to Apple extending more options to Mac gamers, and thus offer more GPU upgrade options (esp. on the not higher-end model, e.g. maybe on the 21" iMac, and not only the 27").

Well, either way, bought a 13" "Ultimate" with the i7 processor. Hopefully it'll be fast enough for my needs. Surprising that this thread hasn't blown up yet considering that the rumormill threads always do..

Wow, didn't see the discrete graphics coming. Also like the twist off bottom for adding additional RAM. Saves you money because you don't have to buy from Apple.

I hope the 8GB RAM option is true, but as far as the ULV processors, go, I still don't understand why everyone thinks Apple will use the ULV processors. Since the GPU in now bundled with the CPU, and the power usage of those combined chips is 17W, I…

Based on this news, I'd say that Lion will be released on Friday, and the new Air's (plus either MacPro's, Mini's, or w/e) will be updated on Tuesday.

Bah. I hate that the Apple execs want to wait to flash the MBA's with Lion because they're not sure how quickly people will upgrade to Lion, even though it's free. So now with the Air's shipping with Lion, their Lion install base numbers will be gua…
