Yesterday, Apple refreshed their 11.6″ MAcbook Air that’s powered with the new Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors, a huge leap from last year’s Core 2 Duo processor.
That’s barely 8 months ago when it was speculated that the reason for using the Core 2 Duo instead of the Core i3/i5 back then was that the chips would not fit with the slim form factor of the Macbook Air (it’s possible the Sandy Bridge chips are much thinner now).
On top of that, they’ve also reduced the starting price of the Macbook Air. It used to be Php52,990 then and now it’s just Php49,990.
Then again, my old MacAir is slowing down (especially when I’m doing Photoshop or iMovie) so this refresh is definitely a welcome upgrade. One thing remained the same though — those SSDs are still very expensive.
Been talking to a number of folks who also bought the first generation 11.6″ MacAir and we shared the same sentiments.
So to the few people out there who bought the first one, did you regret it when you learned about the new models?
Everyone will feel the MacBook Air 13 Multitasking performance is more robust than the MacBook Pro 13, even much better than the previous generation MacBook Air 13.

Linux FTW!

Agree with Nick. All, I see this type of article in forums a lot. You should have not bought the XXX because now there is the YYY. The longest lifecycle for tech is one year, and often shorter. Whatever you buy, will be updated in at most 12 months, many time the price will go down even before it is upgraded. By things when you need it, and avoid buying till you really do need it.
If I had one, then probably not. Just like when I had my first white MB, then less than half a year later, there was a refresh, for the same price. IMO, it was ultimately better, the refresh. I had a tiniest tinge of regret but then I thought of all the time I had my Mac and all the productivity I’m made with it. And I don’t regret anymore. 
in this case
apple pulled in a quicker bucks on some people here and is pulling more
