    Should we accept OP's apologies?

    Do we know for certain that the MacBook Air that Wow are selling is the same configuration?

      I very much doubt it'd be the 128GB model.

    what's the story with refurbed macs and the battery? do they put in a new battery or are you stuck with an old and tired secondhand battery?

      As clearly stated on Apple's site, new battery.

  I saw those but the ones at wow are new not refurbished, also they have the 128GB model for $854.10 new which is cheaper than the refurbished one from apple.

  Not sure on the rest of the specs though they said they were the just-superseded models

    Thanks for the clarification… I wondered if it was the 128GB SSD version. I always prefer comparing apples with apples.

  unless you are strapped for cash get a i5 air instead.

    I just need a small computer for on the train and travelling but don't want to be stuck with a netbook. Would I really notice the difference going to i5?

      A quick google found

      But generally speaking, a CULV Core 2 Duo is 2 generations behind the Sandy Bridge i5/i7s, so they are way slower.

      I have a CULV duel core 1.2Ghz 11inch acer, its fine for most day to day stuff, but it struggles at times. So a Core 2 Duo Air might do the job for you, but a i5 is a very worthwhile investment.

        Agreed.

        I read somewhere that 2nd gen i5's are the equivalent of the 1st gen i7's.

        Get the i5.

  Unless you absolutely need it, don't bother buying one since the new MBAs are gonna be insanely fast!
