I just have a brief question. I'm a light user and I want to purchase a new MBA 13' base config with 4 GB RAM. Would this be good enough to play sims 3 smoothly?
Got a tip for us?

No offense, but I can't stop laughing at the idea of basing a laptop purchase on The Sims 3.
well the reason is because this is probably the most intensive program i would use.
while im glad you can find enjoyment in this world, that game is awful. good luck.
1. Many sites (Steam, Direct2Drive, Gamersgate) offer download purchasing directly from their sites.
2. CD sharing with a computer that has a CD Drive; Or putting the install files on a USB stick.
3. Less...legal ways. (Well, actually, if you own a physical copy of the game / purchased it in some other way, it's legal if just highly unreliable.)

Do you experience performance, lagging issues on your Air? I have a ultimate 13" air but have not gotten around to installing Sims 3 on it for fear it might be unplayable. This comes from a windows quad core PC I have that takes forever to load the game up. Makes me wonder what an Air has that can play a game my quad core PC can not run smoothly.
