You might want to take note how the carbon fiber backplate affects your signal. I leave mine off because the CF messes with my WiFi signal. CF is documented to block RF and WiFi
I use a skin from The Lucky Labs in it's place. I like it better anyhow

Cheers! I actually tried to buy one of their black/grey digi camo skins for this as well, but they were out of stock. I'll give it a go anyway until I get a replacement skin.

Ok folks, I'm on the horns of a dilemma. I'm going to get the MacBook Air, but I'm torn between the 11" and 13" models. Portability vs. screen size for three day trips to London. Mainly it'll be for using Word, Internet and maybe some VPN remote desktop action in the hotels to access shared files. Any thoughts?
-
Go 13. I have owned both and the extra 2 inches is not noticed when it comes to the "portability" category but IS noticable in the "screen size'' category. Hopefully that makes as much sense to you as it does in my head. Basically what im saying is you are not going to carry around the 11 and go "Man, this sure is portable!" than carry around the 13 and say "this thing is just way to bulky…". But when it comes to usable screen size, you WILL like the extra 2 inches of the 13...
-
Agreed with mike. It's not necessarily the physical size but the resolution that comes with it. The 11 inch sports a 1366 by 768 pixel display while the 13 gives you 1440 by 900. It may not seem like a big difference but the extra real estate gives you some breathing room, especially for that occasional RDP session.

Thanks guys! Really useful to get some input from people who are already using it. Now all I have to do is will myself to spend the money!

And the Element Pro Stealth arrived. $15 postage and it came in three days from the USA via FedEx. Can't complain at that.

Went to the Apple store today on the way to my train, but chickened out of buying the MBA. Next week though, for sure!
-
Interesting. I'm still dithering over which size MacBook Air to get (probably 13" as suggested), never mind different iPads!
-
Anyone else tried the F.lux screen brightness software? It's great for resting those tired eyes!
