Impressive. Does anyone know if the Apple Store will have the 4GB model or is it BTO only? Yes I am too lazy to call...

I was actually there yesterday asking the same question. They said they get all the variations, with most of them being which ever they believe will sell the most. That was the least of my worries though, they didn't even have any in stock! All I want/need is the 11'6 with the 1.6ghz, 128gb ssd, and 4gb or ram...

Amazing. Only the MacBook Pro exceeds the Air past 108 (132 for MBP). Well, that and the white MacBook (99 for MB).

And here is the direct link to the speed test article.

So judging by this are we to believe that the new MBA's are so fast is cause they use 100% of their CPU speed and cause of the fast flash hard drives? Though the actual Max CPU speeds aren't as fast as other Macs.
And here's a nice new MBA review.

Picked the 13" up at lunch and am very impressed. Quick little machine with the solid state storage. Now I just need to compare my 13" MBP with SSD to the Air. Should be interesting to see the differences. I have XBench, is there something better out there?

John, I'd be very interested in seeing what you pull off Xbench. I have both Xbench and Geekbench myself. My current laptop is a 2010 MBP 2.4 with 8GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. Perhaps we could get some scores posted to see how these things run? Just a thought.
