Has anyone installed CS3 on an Air yet?

MBA 1.6 GHz vs 1.8 GHZ

I'm wonder is it a huge different between the 1.6GHz and 1.8 GHz on the MBA, if I running CS3?
I'm a graphic design, mainly using InDesign or Quark and some light Photoshop retouch, illustrator and Acrobat.

I'm using a Dual 2GHz G5 with 4GB ram at home, and a 17" PB 1.33 GHz, I need a more portable Mac to carry around, the 1" is huge and heavy.

I was waiting for the new MBP, I thought they might redsign it, but end up they look the same and weight the same, so I'm thinking should I get a MBA instead.

To kapo, the 1.6ghz->1.8ghz is not going to pay for itself in a hurry. That's a ~10% increase in the absolute purest CPU activities -- your 300dpi gaussian blurs going from 35 seconds to 32 seconds. Still a nice thing to have (hey, you're buying an Air instead of a Thinkpad after all...)

The Air will stomp your old Powerbook in everything except hard drive intensive tasks. CS3 will be more than twice as fast.

It's not the fastest laptop Apple sells, but it's faster than some of the fastest laptops it used to sell. It's got a brand new CPU and chipset. It'll still give your G5 a run for its money, too.

Installed it on my 1.8SSD and it works great. I don't do anything massively heavy on it (retouching pictures from my DSLR really), but for that it is absolutely fine

but are you editing RAW?

I just do some layout on InDsign or Quark, mainly Graphic Deisgn...
so may be I should go for a 1.6GHz MBA then right?

any other suggestion anyone?
