The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Thanks for posting this deal. I always wanted a MBA but didn't want to pay over $1000 for one.

    I realize that it is the older model but at least it has 120GB HD and the Nvidia graphics card so I can still play WoW.

    Oh it gets better. According to Macworld, the 1.6 GHz is actually FASTER, than the 1.86 GHz due to the write speed of the HD vs SSD, and the way the faster processor downclocks to save battery.

    I just don't think the meager 200 mhz or so is worth the premium. I'll just trade up when the 2 GHz version becomes the norm.
