Matthew, I have the 11in Air, upgraded to the i7 and a colleague the 13in also upgraded.
we both run virtual machines without issue on the Air. The Air is highly responsive with VO and there is no lag at all with applications etc. I think you'll be very surprised... often I hear far to much talk of, I need a full machine, or one with a little juice... nonsense for the majority of users, and even then, what do they really mean, more power, an Air with even the i5 processor and 4Gb of RAM is more than enough to out perform many of the equivalent MacBook Pro's owing to the SSD.

I've got a few questions for those of you who are using the 2011 MacBook air. 1. How's the speed? Is VO responsive? Do applications run quickly? 2. How well do virtual machines run on it? I'd like to purchase a MacBook air with the core I7 upgrade but am wondering how the MacBook air as a whole is performing for those of you who have one. Thanks to all who can answer my questions.
