I bought the base model Macbook air(999), as my budget didn't allow me to get the upgraded model. I also wanted a portable mac to carry around college.
I am blown away by the performance of this little fellow; it handles all the basic computing stuff with ease, and also iPhoto, iMovie very good. I have an iMac at home for heavy stuff, so if you plan on doing extensive video editing, this laptop is not a good choice. Laptop does get hot, even while doing basic stuff, but its bearable, and most importantly there is no fan sound (after playing around for 5 hours).
Update after 30 hours,
I was only able to get 3-3.5 hours of battery doing basic stuff, I mean only safari and mail, and also flash plugin switched off. I am very disappointed, as the laptop's performance was excellent except the battery.

I've been a long time PC owner and have always vowed to never own a Mac. I considered them overpriced niche machines with subpar hardware for people that had more money than sense. I'm ready to admit that I was very wrong. I was looking for an ultraportable for school and I just couldn't find one that I liked. Finally, I gave in to reviews and bought the MBA 11. I figured I'd try it out and return it if it sucked. Well, I'm definitely not returning it. I love this computer. It's sleek, super light, and performs perfectly. I have the base model, because for someone who only uses a computer to type papers and browse the internet, you really don't need much more. This beats every windows machine I've owned, even those with more RAM and bigger harddrives.

I recently purchased my Macbook Air 11" and am very satisfied . The best thing about the new Mac is the compact size , I was able to trade in my old Macbook and my iPad 2 because I can do everything in this new Macbook Air that I could on the other devices. I guess my only complaint is that a few of the apps needed to be tweaked before they would work .
