[QUOTE="terrible1one3, post: 739088, member: 69637"] It seems that she is running all my normal apps plus windows with memory to spare. I have 512MB allocated to windows and I still have about 400MB free. I have the 30 day trail of VM fusion, hoping to have work chip in for the full license. The only thing I notice is she runs pretty darn hot when chugging along windows and OSX applications. It isn't that bad on the hands or legs but I can just see the processor temp flying. I have seen the processor temp go as high as 85 degrees Celsius. Along with this is a whizzing fan, which I can live with because it is only noticeable in a very quiet room. The longer I have this computer, and the more I see my IBM thinkpad sitting in the corner the more I respect the amount of engineering that went into this computer. I really am a convert as this computer is worth it is just spectacular. I am very glad I didn't end up waiting for a new macbook or going used on the pro, this thing is just amazing. I just ordered a case that is made specifically for the air and a super drive etc and I am really psyched. I never thought I would fully convert to mac, but next time my desktop is up for a refresh, in say about 2 years, a mac pro with a fresh copy of windows 7 dual booting for games sounds like it could be perfect :).
