Samsung 830 in MBA? Anyone know if Samsung 830 can be installed in 11 inch MacBook Air?

No, the 11" MacBook Air requires a special form factor for SSDs. This Samsung is designed to fit in a standard laptop 2.5" bay. If you want an upgrade for an 11" MBA, check out the offerings from OtherWorldComputing: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Air_2012

I've used this with the 13" 2013 Macbook Air with OS X 10.9 Mavericks with no problems. Now I'm on the public beta 2 of OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) also with no problems. My MBA is connected via thunderbolt to a 24" 1080p monitor AND this adapter (USB3 > Etekcity adapter > HDMI attachment > TV). It is obviously quite a bit delayed response time but I only use it for video playback (which works fine). The only difference between the 2013 and 2014 models of macbook airs are the minor processor speed bump; the processors are otherwise the same.

I do not have any macbook experience so I cannot provide a recommendation. I would recommend contacting Samsung directly.

No, this is desktop memory for desktop systems, The MacBook Air memory can not be upgraded, it is soldered into the motherboard, Apple way of forcing you to over pay for memory when you buy and configure the MacBook Air and other laptops they sell.

I am not sure :( The most important things are pin compatibility (make sure that the MacBook air also adopts the micro sata pin standard), and the form factor, that is the drive will fit in the bay. If you take out the existing drive in your MacBook air, you should be able to tell both of those things. If both are true, I do not see why not.

You can monitor-share. If your computers are on the same wifi network, go to the Finder on the iMac, select the MacBook Air in the left-hand panel, and select the "Share Monitor..." button. (You have to have sharing set up in the Sharing Control Panel.) Once the iMac is mirroring the MBA, hit the full-screen button in the upper-right corner (I'm assuming you're running Lion or later.) Voila! You're using the iMac's monitor to run you MBA. The only other way that I'm aware of to use the iMac as a "monitor" for the MBA would be to restart the MBA in Target mode, and restart the iMac to use the MBA as its startup disk. The problem is that the iMac doesn't have a Thunderbolt connector and the MBA doesn't have a Firewire connector. I think you could connect the two through a USB hub, but I'm not sure. In any case, you'd be running on the iMac, not the MBA, so I don't think there's anything to be gained by that.

My MBA came with Mountain Lion. I use it on my lap and works great, any problem.

Yes, it is possible but the tricky part is sliding the MacBook Air 11 inch into the iPad compartment. You first need to slide it in a 45 deg angle towards the top of the backpack and then you can finish sliding the other side carefully so you don't scratch your MBA on the zipper. Once inside it fits fine.

This fit perfectly in My MacBook air 11 inch model I bought 3 years ago. I do not know after 3 years if is the newest model.

Thank you all for the replies. That really cleared most of my concern. Now I'm trying to decide between Macbook Air and Macbook Pro. I still prefer macbook air because of the weight (thanks for bringing up the heavy textbooks factor:). however if it turns out Windows software is necessary, i might be interested in a macbook that's easier to setup two os. From what I heard so far, macbook air would be a headache to do that because of the lack of DVD/CD rom. I still have a lot of time before making the final decision though. Thanks again for your inputs.

As far as I know the macbook air is not upgradable at all. The memory is integrated into the motherboard. Only the hard drive is chage able and it doesn't use a normal laptop hard drive.

Yes you can, Daniel. Check out http://www.squidoo.com/apple-macbook-air-ds for more information.

Apparently the 13" and the MBA now have the same sized keyboard. Be advised however, that this skin has printed letters on it. The MBA's backlit keyboard won't shine through. :( https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4052556

I'm not sure as I haven't installed the samsung 830 yet. Will probably get the chance to do so in about two weeks. If you can wait till then please remind me and will respond.
