Hi guys, so I have a 2010 13" 1.86 GHz 4 GB RAM MBA and was wondering if you think it will run Lion smoothly.

I don't really do anything intensive with my laptop. 95% of my usage consists of internet browser, Microsoft Office apps, email, calendar, HD videos and iTunes. I was just wondering if I'll get the same "smooth" performance I get now running Lion.

Thanks!

Yes it will run Lion smoothly. Even better than SL.

I got my 11.6" Air with 1.4 GHz running Lion. Thinking of putting it on my 27" iMac.

My base 13" MBA runs Lion just fine.

Wait... how does people have Lion already? Is it a beta?

Sorry I'm not really savvy when it comes to these kind of things...

I have the very same MBA you have and i used to run Lion on it for about a week. There were no problems except for the usual Lion bugs.

Have you found any issues with memory? I'm trying to decide whether I should drop $100 on doubling the memory when I buy my MBA.

Go with the 4GB Ram option, it will serve you longer and better.
