Hi Anouk,
Actually, the internal speaker on the MBA really isn't bad. As Neil said, it
lacks some of the fullness of the speaker on the MBP, but I don't think it's
unacceptable at all. And it puts out a lot of volume. I know you said you
were planning to buy headphones, but thought you'd wan
Hi, for me the internal speaker sound isnt as much of an issue because I
will probbably buy a pair of headphones to go with it at some point, i
now still have my audio system in the living room to connect it to but
am going to sell that (funds have to come from somewhere) but then for
stationar
that's certainly been my impression so far. Glad to hear you're liking yours.
Cheers,
Donna

Hi, at least in the Dutch apple store you can also get the 256 gb
upgrade for the 11 inch model but it is indeed really expensive. I
htought about getting it but in the end dicided against it. The decision
between 13 and 11 inch was tough but in the end I opted for
ultraportability.
Greetings,
Hi Mary,
You can get the 256 of storage on the 11-inch, and that's what I got. And
yeah, it is expensive. Still not sure if I'm going to keep it, or just live
with lugging around my MBP.
Cheers,
Donna

So, Donna, you got the 13 inch MBA? I ask because you mentioned getting the 256
gb of storage, and I thought that was only on the 13 inch. That is one
expensive upgrade for the 128 to the 256 gb of storage!

The macbook air does not have a dvd drive or ethernet port, this may not be an
issue for you, but it's something to be aware of.
