      You mean the one that's already been revealed? http://www.stuff.tv/apple-macbook-air-13in-2014/review

      Seriously though, I bought my Air about 3 months ago for about $300 more than this and I ain't even mad. Honestly the best laptop that I have owned and well worth the money. For those tossing up between the 2014 model and 2013, it sounds like the 2014 is a VERY slight upgrade, so the 2013 is probably much better value.

          If you're doing film/photo editing then you the SSD read/write isn't going to be your throttling factor - the processor is only 1.3GHz - you want to find something with a higher clocking speed.

    Cheap as chips! I bought my 2013 Air last week for $900 and this is even cheaper.
    2014 model is only 5% quicker over 2013.
    Im not too fuss about retina screen as I am already running 1920x1200 on my 13" using SwitchResX.

    • Astro551 on 21/06/2014 - 13:24

      Wait what, how can you just change your resolution?

      • Letrico on 21/06/2014 - 13:32

        He just said…. With switchresx. Google it.

        • Astro551 on 21/06/2014 - 13:43
          +5

          Yes I have Googled it… seems like a fix since MTL when they changed the ease of access to change possible resolutions. The resolution on a screen is a hardware property, I can't just change it into QHD+ with a program.

          The only other possibility I can think of is dodgy scaling or using an external monitor with Thunderbolt

      • muncan on 21/06/2014 - 14:14

        You can scale a MacBook Air to 1080p by mirroring the display to an Apple TV3.
        Neat little hack when you need a little more space on your desktop.

          Why not just use a minidisplayport to hdmi adapter?

        • muncan on 21/06/2014 - 21:54

          Usage case is where wanting additional desktop space on local MacBook Air display while an unused Apple TV3 is available. That, and not wanting to waste calories in getting up to plug things in. Software such as SwitchResX may produce similar results without an Apple TV. But if you have the hardware (ATV3), you don't need the software :-)

    • cryptos on 21/06/2014 - 13:33
      +3

      What, you overclocked your resolution!!

      Resolution is a hardware spec thing, scaling with a software program does not give you greater resolution, if it did, I'd turn all of my tv's into 4K screens

        You are just making the ui smaller hence there will be distortions on the text. There is no way to increase the maximum resolution, as other people said it is a hardware thing. That numbers(1440x900) are the pixels on your screen, you can't just increase the physical pixels by software.

        • mini_wombat on 21/06/2014 - 19:50

          That makes sense …

        Well it all worked out in the end! I spent 1 hour and 10 mins on the phone with their useless call centre to be told I was getting transferred to a supervisor then was just hung up on. Tried calling back but gave up after 30 mins on hold

        Took a punt by calling my local store and they honoured the price and I walked out with the last one :)

  • ramezemar on 21/06/2014 - 15:23

    This is a ridiculously attractive price; will the 4gb be an issue causing laggy video playback, sluggish performance etc? Currently running on an XPS15 with an i7-740Qm and 6gb.

    • Mikeologos on 21/06/2014 - 15:35

      RAM is largely used for multi-tasking, and there are often misconceptions that you need 8+ Gigs of the stuff to run smoothly. Honestly for anything along the lines of web browsing, video playback, pretty much everything you could do on a small laptop will be fine with 2GB, let along 4.

      • Astro551 on 21/06/2014 - 16:04

        what's the root problems for laptop and computer slow downs when running stuff then? Just windows needing to be re-installed/hard drive limitations? if RAM isn't the issue.

        • Riczter on 21/06/2014 - 18:12

          SSDs help, usually its background programs running that slow it down

        • Astro551 on 21/06/2014 - 18:15

          Which is why I thought RAM helped, since it improves multi-tasking. Unless I was mistaken.

          You get back the GST, so yeah its not exactly 10% but close enough. GST on $100 is $10, so $110 total. You then get back $10, - 'The GST refund is calculated by dividing the GST inclusive price by 11'.

        • tomleonhart on 23/06/2014 - 09:59
          -1

          yeah but "you get 10% back" imply you will get $11 back. 110 x 10% = $11.

          Should have stated "you get 10% of the original price back" ;)

        • [Deactivated] on 23/06/2014 - 10:25

          10% off the original price, which is GST ex. Original price is a non GST price. If you want to get picky you would say 9.09 percent back off the total cost price, or GST Inc., how much does a $4.02 thing cost? $4.
