Looking at the start date on that thread I have to say, "DooDoo"...unless there's something hidden in one of the comments that I overlooked. Marv, you're thinking there's going to be a release of a new MBP 15" despite that they just bumped the specs on the current form factor? Where'd you see that?

Not crazy at all! You have a much lighter yet still very capable ultra portable that the industry is trying to copy. I know the screen on your new blade is very sharp but is the resolution not a little hard on your eyes?
Congratulations on the new addition!

You go that right. ...and with the 10.7.2 update is seems to perform pretty well. I'm liking it. One of the things I like about OS X is that as long as it run on your hardware it tends to run well on your hardware...even if the hardware is older. That's just my experience, other's mileage may vary.

Or you could Google Macbook Air problems... and prentend to be technically clueless.

It does not shut down at all. I was at the apple store today and they tested it out for over 4 hours no fan noise at all.

When I had a Macbook 2,1 (Black) it would always exhbit a flickering display on min brightness when scrolling web pages, in the Apple store they never reproduced the problem because they set the brightness to max.
My point is Apple does a terrrible job of believing people.
What I did was I filmed the Macbook as evidence and they gave a refund. To prove it wasn't the camera, I showed another computer and it worked without flickering. I suggest video evidence.
I would defend Dr. AMDfangirl but it might be seen as patronizing.
It's fine, I'm here to 'foster postitve connections for the Linux/FreeBSD and Mac OS X communites' and to remove spam.
Apparently it's cheaper for unpaid mods to trawl through the internet than to buy filter technology.

Video evidence with the audio captured of the improper fan noise may not be convincing, but it may be indeed worth a shot Marv. I'm not sure where you're located but its unfortunate you were not able to buy the Air at an actual Apple Store. They're pretty good about taking equipment back...trust me, I know.

Perhaps run a programme like Prime 95 (try and find one for the Mac, I can't because almost everything is blocked and filtered for me) to stress out the computer. Perhaps play the flash video in store?
