So after seeing the MBP refresh following the sale of my old MBP 13'' i'm seriously considering going for the 128GB 13'' MBA. I love the idea of the SSD's speed along with the 1440*900 resolution. I have a few of questions:

1) How do you guys with 2GB of RAM manage ? Do you ever feel the need for 4GB ?

2) Is the general performance of the 1.8Ghz C2D acceptable for browsing, music and 720p/1080p video ? I'm talking AVI, not Flash.

3) Do you guys think the resale value of these will hold until the next refresh comes around ? I love new tech and if a refresh in 6 months were to take place and put Sandy Bridge in these machines i would have no problem selling it a week or so in advance. However, i won't be too happy if the machine has devalued significantly. I get the UK Student discount and managed to sell my 13'' 2010 MBP for only £50 less than i paid for it, i'd be looking for similar margins on a MBA purchase.

EDIT: Fail title :3

1) its the post pc world specs dont matter
