Apologies if this has already been covered but I have looked and can't find it anywhere.

I have a 13 inch 2009 MBP (2.26 core 2 + 4GB ram) and I am considering 'upgrading' to the new 13 inch MBA the lower end model and upgrade the RAM to 8GB.
However my wife watches a lot of lovefilm movies and tv shows and as you probably know they have recently started doing HD. On my current 2009 pro when watching a HD movie the fans really kick in and make a noise like a chinook helicopter.

I was wondering how the MBA performs whilst watching lovefilm HD movies? (or any streaming HD movies)

Thanks in advance for your help.
