Hi all, I just felt I had to comment on a few things. I wandered into the Apple Store the other day and was playing around with the MacBook Air, just out of curiosity you understand ... What I found was extraordinary, I thought. I launched several applications such as Aperture, Garageband, Pages and Numbers - apps which I use regularly and on my dear old iMac take some time to start - and the time from first tap to having a running application on the Air in just a second or two wiped the floor with every other non-Air Mac I tried in the store (OK, I didn't try the Mac Pro), including the 27" 4GB i7 iMac! I'm sure once an app is launched and the Mac is required to do some serious heavy lifting and processor intensive work rather than simply loading stuff from disk it's probably quite a different matter. Nonetheless, it just goes to show that clever design and an SSD can produce incredibly gratifying results in such a beautifully compact package. And whilst I'm gushing I have to say that the new GarageBand for iPad is amazing! I'm using it on the "iPad Classic" :-) and it just made my jaw drop and put a very silly grin on my face and all for less than a pint of fine ale ... Aren't Apple great?
