[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 606534, member: 9385"] Yep, sure am. The magnetic latch is on the left side of the screen, and also works to secure my Apple remote to the screen when it's on my desk. Also it works as the trigger to make it go to sleep when the screen closes. Interesting effect of this, I have eyeglasses which use a couple of small, but powerful magnets to affix my clip-on shades, which are also magnetic. If I put the bridge of my glasses on one of the magnetic parts on the Macbook, it makes it go to sleep without closing the lid. Kind of weird when it happened. Anyway, the Macbook is essentially the same form factor as the Air, other than the extreme thin-ness. No physical latches at all between screen and chassis. The only thing I worry about when opening the lid is the fact that the iSight camera is right where I would lever the screen open, but so far, so good. One handed screen opening is exactly the same. Mine is a second generation C2D at 2.0Ghz, and the magnetic latch is awesome; much better than my old Dell in, well, just about every way. Still nothing wrong with the MBA, just not what I need for now that I've got this. [/QUOTE]
