I put a skin on mine

Couldn't bring myself to spend any money, so I'm borrowing my mom's crappy windoze laptop indefinitely.

Crappy windoze laptops FTMFW

Do you experienced Air owners put it in a case, or is it adequately scratch resistant? If you're using a case which do you recommend?

I use a Waterfield Designs sleevecase because they are classy and so is the MBA.

Waterfield cases are nice. I may get one for the MBA I now own.

Congrat Mike!

BTW, this Lion hint off Fireball seems like it could be cool for checking in on HC from time to time.

Just fling some poo around, Dinny, it will make you happy again.

New MBA's All Round!

Dew eet, Dinny.

Then I can say

I've just started to play with the MBA and I have to say it is pretty cool. I think my iPad will be jealous for a bit. I really like being able to type with a full size keyboard and still have a computer that is very transportable. Dinny dew et!

I love the new MBA's. I might prefer the 13" more due to the higher res screen, more battery life and SD slot. I could see it being a desktop replacement like my 15" MBP, just by adding a USB hub with a DAC, Superdrive, and portable HD for my iTunes library.

However I decided a few days ago to go for Marc's KGSS instead, since my Macbook Pro + iPad 2 are working so well for me right now. Once my son's 2006 MBP dies and I have to hand down my unibody MBP to him for school, I'll give it more consideration.

One annoyance I've noticed with Lion is that it's taking a lot longer than before the upgrade to reconnect to my wireless network after it wakes up from sleep. If I cared enough, I'd check it with my ancient iMac as well, but I haven't upgraded that one yet.

I don't like all the negative reviews in the app store that I'm reading of Lion right now. I'm very happy with Snow Leopard as it is.

I upgraded parallels to 6.0 in anticipation, but I have to make sure everything else that I use is okay, since some apps need Rosetta and I'm not sure which apps those are (except older AppleWorks, MS Works, Quicken, older Photoshop and office 2005 and older which I don't use). I know that AirDisplay which uses my iPad as a second monitor will quit working in Lion with my model of MBP, at least until apple patches the 3rd party video driver issue with some older Macs. I have an original unibody 15" I bought in Jan 2009, and the June 2009 MBP are fine.

I really like the way Expose and Space works now, and the Mission Control sounds like a pain to get used to. I'd prefer that the scroll bars and scrolling/swiping gestures didn't change. Apparently if you use two monitors and set an app for full screen then the second monitor does nothing. I hated how iTunes went all grey, and now iOS is going all grey too. How long before App icons go grey too?

I don't like big changes in something I've been using for years. Heck, I still want all the MobileMe features to remain in iCloud and keep things like syncing of keychains and preferences which we will lose with iCloud. I like the way iDisk and MobileMe gallery work too. iCloud beta on Snow Leopard is good enough, with being able to re-download apps, music and books.

So, I think that Lion is Apple's Vista, and just like I had stayed with Win XP I'm staying with Snow Leopard for as long as I can.

I have zero issues with Lion so far. Of course it would have to make the computer piss on my carpet and steal my wallet to be Apple's version of Vista. Launchpad seems useful but I still have not dug that deeply into it.

I won a free copy of Vista business from Microsoft when it was introduced, and I still haven't opened and installed Vista...

x2. It seems silly to jump to that conclusion so quickly HPA, especially the way Apple updates its OS.

Most of the issues people seem to have is because they're either too fucking lazy or stupid to go into preferences to set things up. Especially the gestures STFU and turn them off if they bother you.

I was going to install Lion on my old iMac (no real issue with MBP so far) but the damn App Store is now telling me my credit card security code is invalid, when it's not.

Well, I'm taking a wait and see stance for now. Maybe I'll clone my Macbook Pro and update the clone to Lion and try it out for a while and see what breaks or gets better.
