^^ Agreed. "B" rules. Have both and "A" is okay as long as I stay away from Hulu, Youtube or flash heavy sites.

I don't know about your original MBA, but mine wasn't just a non-video player. It was absolutely a DOG. I could never have several apps open. Any intensive app like CS3 was so slow I could not work on it. The only things I could do were email, light Internet, and Word. I only could have one of those apps open at a time. Whenever closed then opened another app it was a 30 second process. It was really bad compared to all of my other Macs. I would guess that everything was seven to ten times slower than all of my other Mac notebooks. Not to mention, I couldn't even watch 90 seconds of non-HD video without core shutdown, overheating, and complete lockup.
I had moved on to unibody MB when your post came out disassembling and reviewing the revised MBA. It was right then that I started believing that all of the changes Apple had made to the MBA made it my dream machine again. I had been very frustrated with my original MBA. I even felt that Apple had duped us pretty good. I could not understand why Apple thought the original MBA was not a piece of junk - I sure thought it was.
Anyways, I didn't really believe Steve when the new MBA was introduced. I started believing when you made your post about the revised MBA. I am so glad I read that post and gave the MBA a second chance. I feel the revised MBA is the nicest Mac/computer I have ever owned.
