- sandipc 16y agowhen the 11" Macbook Air gets Thunderbolt and a newer generation of processors, I will be first in line to pick one up. Compact size, internal SSD, and only two cords to plug in each time I sit down - power and data - and data happens to also carry video to a large external monitor setup.
