Comment on The 15-Inch MacBook Air

Comments

15-in would be nice, but a MBA powerful enough to run Windows in Parallels would be my dream laptop.

What are you trying to run in Windows? I have a new 13" MacBook Air and happily run a lot of different apps (no games though) in Windows inside Parallels. Ordinary interaction with Windows is fast. Only a few tasks feel slow, mostly things that would be slow anyway—large scale computation in SAS and Verilog synthesis.

What's the limiting factor? (Genuinely curious.)
