New MacBook Air!!!! - Page 5

I dont know about the MBA, but that is a reported downside of all SSDs. A better question might be whether Apple would deliberately release a product which is going to generate complaints from power users (OK, MBA power users ..) within 6 months. I suspect that your salesman friend just made himself a very nice commission.
 

Its just going to come down to what the end user needs. Personally I love my 15" MBP, and carry it to all my classes. I see a growing number of people getting the notebooks, one because of size and two because of cost. Obviously Apple isn't marketing to the low cost computer user. I would rather have a revised version of the ipad to surf the net in front of the tv. I do like the OP comment on hooking it up to a usb dac >amp>headphones. It would be a pretty sweet little system for the casual user. I cant believe they didn't add 3G to it, seems like a no brainer. I cant wait to check them out in the stores. I cant believe its .65" thick.

I checked today and it is true, the Trim function for SSD hard drives on MBA is not supported under OSX.

When they fix this I will buy one. I doubt there are a lot of power users using the MBA  as their primary machine.
