Got my first MBA (used rev. A) in mid January this year, then changed to a rev. B HD in two weeks. Now "upgraded" again to a rev. B SSD. Talking about addiction!:)

I do find I use it less at home (with all current Mac series at home except the Mac pro). But when traveling, I hate to drag my MBP for the extra two pounds. I tried two PC netbooks with OS X installed late last year, but none of them was nearly as good as the MBA (granted it costs four times of those cheap PCs!).

Only wishes? (1) Longer battery hours (and possible battery life before replacement. You use it quite often without power, so the battery cycle shoot up pretty fast compared with my other Macs....). (2) Heat issue: for some reason, my SSD version is "significantly" "hotter' than HD version, especially after the fast boot up, the fan always kicks in for a while, and the temperature gets 60 degree (C). But the HD version, while significantly slow when booting, never had the fan running. Not sure if it's normal. May be a trip to Apple store for check up?
