From the date of purchase whether in your hands or not. You can extend the warranty for another 2 years via Applecare (which you could buy off a US ebay seller for less than buying over here).

You can get the 1.8Ghz SSD Model For £949 off Apple's Refurb store, and an Apple Refurb is basically new. The 12 Months warranty on that is from the date of purchase.

Apple MacBook Air 13 Inch 1 8Ghz Laptop by Viking Direct
£862 I think when you add the VAT on (still a bargain)

Well done newbeetle you spotted my deliberate mistake

Quidco is offering 7% for Vicking direct purchases so that's £50 back.
