Remember the days when one would freak out at a 1mb download over your 14,400 Modem? :)
Was using an old 1st gen MBA that died few weeks back.
Got a MBP13" last week (what's now the old model) and three things made me return it and change it for a MBA 13"...
1. The newer model (even though the old MBP13" to the new MBP13" isn't much of a change...)
2. The weight : I thought I wouldn't feel much of a difference going from an old MBA to the newer MBP, but it does... (the old MBA was 3lb)
3. Resolution : I didn't know before that the max MBP 13" is 1280x800 .vs. MBA's 1440x900. That extra screen makes a difference.
A general perception is that the MBA is "faster" than the old MBP. But that just considering a few days of use on each one.
Have now iTunes, Chrome (10+ tabs), MS Powerpoint, Terminal(s) and eclipse open (and running/debugging a JEE project). 70% memory in use. 0 Page outs. 9% CPU. Compile/Build time is many (MANY) times faster than an old '07 iMac 24".
Two things to notice though: had two total freezes yesterday (full OSX freeze, had to hold power button to reboot). I don't remember the last time I had one of those in another OSX machine. Both times using Google Hangout. So it's either a problem there, or something I hope this fix address. Will keep an eye on it.

Because if you have a binary that's, say, 100 megabytes in size, and you want to change even the smallest thing, your replacement binary is also going to be 100 megabytes in size.
Multiply that times a bunch of different binaries that need to be updated, and there's your disk space. The good news is that since you're replacing an old one with an almost-identical newer one, the actual amount of new disk space consumed is very small.
Just got this Macbook Air yesterday, man the SSD is so fast, didnt think it could be improved in any way :eek:
