昨日，Apple更新了其搭载全新英特尔酷睿i5和酷睿i7处理器的11.6英寸MacBook Air，相较于去年的酷睿2双核处理器，这是一次巨大的飞跃。
那还是不到8个月前的事，当时有推测称，之所以使用Core 2 Duo而非当时的Core i3/i5，是因为这些芯片无法适配MacBook Air的纤薄外形（如今Sandy Bridge芯片可能已变得更薄）。
此外，他们还降低了MacBook Air的起售价。此前为52,990比索，现在仅为49,990比索。
话又说回来，我的旧款Mac Air运行速度变慢了（尤其是在使用Photoshop或iMovie时），因此这次升级确实令人欣喜。不过有一点保持不变——那些SSD的价格依然非常昂贵。
我们已与多位同样购买了第一代 11.6 英寸 MacBook Air 的用户交流，大家有着相同的感受。
那么，对于那些购买了第一款产品的少数人，当你们了解到新机型时，是否感到后悔？
Linux FTW!
sana ibenta na lang ng 30k yun 1st gen mba 11′ pag labas ng bago :-)
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
my Asus G73 will crush that macbook air.. magtulong pa sila ng macbook pro.. XD
Just a thought:
Why do some people here have to always use the words “bitch”, “dumbass”, and “stupid” in their replies?
Bakit ba kailangang mang-away? And let’s not begin with the grammar nazi.
Peace.
the bigger question is… to upgrade to Lion.
i’m already seeing Adobe officially saying in their site to hold off using Lion vs Snow Leopard, as they still need to update their CS5 for compatibility issues.
If you don’t have anything mission critical, backup and go for the upgrade.
geeez what’s the purpose of buy and sell? Go sell your old model and get the new one. Sure it’s not cheap even if it’s used!!!
@Robin Lim – didn’t make sense to give up the CPU but not the GPU.
“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 was not the size, but Apple did not want to give up Nvidia 320M graphics for Intel HD. Now Intel HD 3000 is much faster.
I think those who bought the 1st macbook air should have done their own research before buying it. (http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/english/NEWS_EN/20080220/147736/) My 1st mac (a powerbook g4) seemed awesome at first, but it had many problems after a year (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook_G4#Quality_issues). So it doesn’t surprise me if old MacAirs are ‘slowing down’ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacBook_Air#Issues). Bottom line: do your hard research and don’t be a victim of technology, fads, and marketing tactics (viral marketing/blogs)
in our office, we were issued mba 11″ last Dec. but it is salary deducted. Well there is still regret bec for now there is a better unit in terms of its specs. (my current when handling 16mb files, this thing really slows down, this upgrade will definitely change things)
yeah… I regret buying this dual core, hays…. apple talaga…
last month ko lang to nabili…. huhuhu
i think you can have your mac air replaced if you bought that a month ago. but that is if you bought that in an istore.
not buying any apple stuffs other than iPod (and ipod nano 6th gen is a fail they should call it touch nano or failed nano).
I’d go for a more sleek looking Toshiba R700 than an all white easily scratch easily smudged overpriced Macbook Air (actually I got an R700 now and it cost only half of the Macbook Air’s price.)
You mean to say the WHITE macbook. The macbook air is aluminum.
definitely no regrets, 13 inch naman ngayon ang bibilhin ko!
Haha mga apple fans talaga indenial talaga :D, kuya ko nung una nya bili yung iphone biglang mysteriously nawala nung lumabas ung second edition para lang makabili.. lol
Soon, Core i7 or maybe squeeze a 750gb hdd on the mba at a lower price? I could wait.. :P
If i bought a macbook air at ANY time, i’d regret it. that thing’s just too expensive.
i used to use both macs and pcs at work and i still dont get why some people prefer to get a core 2 duo machine (at the time) over an i7 beast when they’re basically the same price
Why regret?
Anybody regretting it should have not tried getting one in the first place.
Worst comment ever. Kaya nga regret e. Why the hell would a person buy if he knew he would regret it. Stup!d
The person who would regret it should have not been buying these things in the first place. You know it’s gonna happen.
master, hindi ba’t ang kasabihan ay: “nasa huli ang pagsisisi”?
very illogical approach.
on topic: perhaps a tinge sir Abe. But it’s been done, so hey, gotta live with it :)
And it still does the jobs i make it do, i’m not that heavy using iMovie, photoshop: i do basic things with it so it’s not a bother.
Perhaps the price reduction, but…it can be earned :)
I’ve got an old Macbook white. I did not regret when a new model came. It is always been a constant in technology, being obsolete in just months.
No regrets! Love my MBA! But still planning to upgrade though…
“regret” buying an Apple product? blasphemy! all Apple products are perfect! PERFECT! ;)
I can’t tell if trolling
or Apple fanboy.
^ can’t afford
@Jiron
It’s sarcasm b*tch! I know why… you just want to state the words “trolling” and “fanboy!”
Still, you look stupid with your question.
@Jiron
that’s obviously trolling
@boifan
a lot of people can afford it, they’re just not idiotic enough to pay for something when a windows one is like half the price with better specs
@Grar!
that IS trolling dumbass. look it up
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.
