Hello,
I've been looking at the 13" Ultimate Air but worried about the fan noise threads around the different forums. Is it really that bad? My typical use is about 20-30 tabs open in chrome, itunes, and some word processing.
Remember, the people complaining about the fan noise are some of the most ANAL people around. They've never been around an old PC obviously.
My God fan noise, oh nO!!!!!!
I don't have the ultimate 13" but I have the 13" MBA and the fannoise is so minimal at times.
Jesus Christ people.
Get it, you will love it!
I have a 2010 2.4 15" MBP now but the portability of 13" MBA is very appealing. I just don't like the idea of it being loud.

On 13-UMBA, normally fan runs at 2K and CPU about 43C, and cannot hear unless you put your ear to back of unit. Only time I've experience higher fan speeds are when using Skype, which causes fan to rotate 3,875rpm and CPU temp at 79C. At 3,875rpm, the fan is audible, but not excessively so, still quieter than my Dell E4310 when it's fan kicks in.
