Detailed review
It has been my main and only computer since march 2011. Sold my iMac 27 and went for the Core2Duo 1,86Ghz with a 4gb ram upgrade. At this time, i was starting a new job and I needed a new computer that I easily move everywhere (three different locations : office, and two shops). I chose the Air over the Pro as I didn't need an optical drive, but mainly because lightness / portability was what I was looking for.

No need to say it's really light, and powerful enough for all the tasks I'm required to do (mainly web / mail browsing, docs editing, light picture editing). Multitask is more than ok (firefox / chrome / mail / tweetdeck / spotify running all the time, no issues so far). I guess the 4gb ram and SSD do a great job here.

Probably the best laptop I've owned so far :)
