[QUOTE="Dwinguel, post: 1521202, member: 304275"] Just to add to my previous post, I checked the iFixit teardown of the Air and can confirm that the SSD will surely be upgradable later on (it's not soldered on the board unlike the RAM), OWC will come up with a specific form factor model later on as they have in the past. The SSD in the new Air is not compatible with the old ones so you need to wait if you want to upgrade. But if you don't need that much storage right now you can stick with the 128GB and maybe upgrade in 2 years (if needed). At that time the price of an SSD drive should be a quarter of what it is now, so you could get a 512GB SSD then, which will have a much better performance that the hard drive in the MBP. [/QUOTE]
