Maybe we've already seen the drawback: You can't upgrade memory. I can guarantee you that there will be people screaming about it as soon as it shows up. ![]() There is going to be some big drawback to Apple's shiny new chipset. Look at reviews from almost any computer news and info source (not just Apple centric, but CNET, ZDNet, PC Magazine, I even saw something in the Wall Street Journal) and they are saying the speed AND endurance are incredible- they usually also have something they dislike, and frequently its the 720P camera, but others complain of something else. 2 weeks ago I would have agreed with them. ![]() 2 weeks ago a lot of people were saying 8gb was way too little (some still are saying this) and that there is no way that an ARM chip can maintain fast speeds and battery life. Right now the only answer you should believe is we don't know yet. That MacBook Air may not be able to sustain performance like that, but it can do it for 10-15 minutes at least. 10 days ago if you had asked me if a base 8 GB Air would outperform an Intel 2020 16 GB 16" MacBook Pro, at least in processor speed, I'd have looked at you like you were nuts.
