My performance calculation is MacBook Pro 13" with 8gb RAM versus the 13" Air with 4gb. The 13" is a must for either, but the decision comes down to less swapping and more horsepower versus less weight.

I wonder how much impact SSDs have on swapping. I rarely need 8gb of active memory. I just can't stand waiting minutes for things to swap around right now.

Time for more research...
