I have one of the new MBAs with the SSD. But it is only my travel/ couch machine (I have a loaded MacPro as my primary).
I have no experience with the original, but I would say that even the new Airs are not suitable as a primary machine. And they fixed the two biggest weaknesses with the original (50% more hard drive space and better video). The 2gigs of ram is really the issue, I think. Or perhaps I'm spoiled with 10 on my desktop (Page Outs? Swap? What are those?) That said, I looooooooove this thing. Very happy with it. Except for the stupid usb door thing that only takes slim usb plugs. p.
