My MacBook Air arrived last Friday.

It's an 11-inch built-to-order mid-2011 model, with processor upgraded to 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i7, 256GB of flash storage and 4GB 1333GHz SDRAM.

I love the saving in weight of it. And it feels pretty fast to be honest (although I haven't performed any speed test).

One drawback: no Kensington security lock.

Thank Bob,

Quick question: How do you secure your MacBook Air (physically) since it does not have a Kensington lock?

This answer won't help much I'm afraid: Gravity. I put it down somewhere and it tends to stay put.

But I can imagine that in the wrong environment gravity wouldn't be enough.

Thanks Bob,

Unfortunately, Sydney is not that safe. The good thing is that it fits into my manbag easily.
