Hi all,
I just got some budget funds from work that I need to spend this
quarter, and I'd like to get an ultrabook. Thing is, I'm not finding any
ultrabooks that meet my needs (13", high resolution screen, 8 GB RAM,
comfortable keyboard) and am beginning to contemplate buying a MacBook
Air and running Linux natively on it (i.e, wipe OS X completely from it).
I've found this help.ubuntu.com page which suggests that 12.04 works
well on last year's MB Air:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir4-2
However, I'm not finding any information about this year's Intel Ivy
Bridge version of the laptop.
Can anyone point me to reliable information or personal experience with
this?
As a follow-up I've successfully installed and am running 12.04 natively
on the MBA. I've written up the process in the Apple Users subforum of
Ubuntu Forums:

There's a fair bit to do post-install, but it pretty straightforward and
is mostly the same as what you'd do on the 2011 MBA.
