Now I can sit back satisfied until the next announcement go round... :mrgreen: I have to admit that I am thankful nothing truly radical was announced – especially my dream MBAir.

I like the all metal unibody's and glass multi-touch trackpads. Would have been nice for them to make the trackpads function as secondary LCD displays though.

Its running Tiger, but that's fine. Interestingly enough, its got Office 2008 on it, so she will at least be able to write reports and stuff. For $250, for 867mHz, 512MB, 40GB, with a ton of software, its not bad... It should also work well with the iPod she wants for Christmas...

If there is one, I might be tempted. Wayne and others have talked about how the air is priced too high for what's included, but I can honestly say that I would buy mine again. This is the first laptop that I have brought with me everywhere, and it has all but replaced my MacBook Pro. If Apple makes an Air with a faster and larger hard drive without raising the price too much, then I'm going to have a very serious internal debate...

Bigger specifications without additional functionality will be nice but probably not exciting enough to get me to order right away. I'd love to use a MacBook Air but the pricing is way too high for what's included. I'm also not keen on the lack of DVD drive. If any of these new devices include Blu Ray (which doesn't seem to be rumored as strongly) then all bets are off.. It will be interesting to see what Apple introduces.

Or queuing mindlessly in front of the Apple Store to buy the new ones? I know I am... By the way, are any of the reviewers here pressing “Buy Now” as soon as the button is clickable?

I think Gruber's got some credibility. He was even the first to call the event on the 14th... Daring Fireball has already released a large set of new specs and features that are alleged to be real.
