Well - I am still waiting! Why am I posting? Well - a few things happened - 1st - I cancelled, and re-ordered my MBA (yeah - that is the lingo MBA). Why did I do this? Well - a friend and collegue of mine said to me “hey Chris - did you know we get Apple corporate discount? You should have used that for your MBA!”. I said hmm… I logged on - checked out my discount - and it was a ~$150 savings. Nice - so - since my order was still “not shipped” from Apple - I cancelled it, and re-ordered it (same specs etc) thus - saving $150. That said - I would have had it by now if I had not done this :(.
More … That same friend and collegue came to me the other day and said “Hey - J&R just got a demo MBA, you should go check it out, I saw it - and I did not think it was ’all that’”. Also - I have been debating the idea of getting a MacBook Pro in stead (you know, more beef for the bucks, etc, etc). So - I went to J&R and saw, touched, compared, etc. Needless to say - it IS just what I want. I STILL LOVE my Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet. I LOVE the smallness factor - it REALLY matters to me. I WAS impressed - I will continue patiently waiting. As of now - I will be waiting till the 22nd or so till I get my MBA
So - on goes the saga - I want my (discounted) MacBook Air!
