you should know that one shouldn't ever buy a first run production model of anything apple.
All other manufacturers' first run production models are 100% problem free!

I've never paid attention to this sort of stuff and have never been jumpy about buying an Apple product. Never, in my over 30 years of using Apple products have I EVER experienced any of the glitches reported by that ethereal "some users" crowd. The instantaneous nature of the Internet these days makes stuff like this look common when it is not.
Mine doesn't flicker but at random times the screen shuts off like it went to sleep and I have to login. It's super random. Sometimes all I do is move the mouse or click something and it'll just go to sleep. Sometimes I'm just reading.
The nvidia GPU defect in the older MacBook Pro line was considerably common. If not for the Internet and affection given to it, lots of consumers would never know why their machines failed. Like myself. Sadly, mine died a year or two after replacement parts were still available.
Information freedom helps consumers overall. There needs to be higher expectation of reliability in computer tech in general. It's not acceptable the way things are... though the industry has most people thinking things are just fine as is because of indoctrination ("computers are too complex to make them big free"... nonsense).
To me that suggests it's a software issue - either driver or the application. From other people's posts, it's looking more and more like an Adobe issue.yes and yes
Only by pointless comments.You must be easily amazed then.
Makes you wonder whether the so-called Adobe staff member Chris Cox, deliberately tries to sabotage Apple saying they can't reproduce the issue in house. I was successfully able to do it myself with 5 machines total in less than 2 hours.
I find the way that Chris Cox (who's nothing more than a condescending prick) handled the whole thing on their forums completely lame. Instead of blaming Apple, when clearly he's no software engineer (probably a customer service rep)...

I'm not aware of any non-Adobe apps causing this problem?
Have you taken the machine to an Apple store or in other ways tried to contact Apple about the problem yourself. Frankly rushing to a forum over a broken laptop isn't the most productive way to a fix.
First off you would need to know if it is a hardware or software issue. Some of what I've seen seems to indicate a hardware issue. That doesn't completely rule out drivers though.
Beyond that you can hang around forums and feed your concerns or you can do something about it. Talk to Apple! Further there is a very high likely hood that you aren't even discussing the same problems when you converse with a bunch of random forum members.
No it shouldn't. At the very least you need to get this problem on record with Apple because honestly if the coming driver updates don't fix it you will want to have the hardware replaced. At least one of the videos I've seen leads me to suspect hardware but you really never know.

So have you taken it back to Apple for replacement, examination or at least get the problem on record? Seriously, if you are having problems why are you posting here?
I have this problem on the Air and I appreciate that it was put on the front page. Apple and Adobe need to get this fixed without turning the blame on each other!

It's pretty funny that anyone is even using an Air for Photo$hop though!
Only by pointless comments.
It's sad that your expectations are so low. This is not a $300 netbook.
Am I the only one that thinks it's amazing that an AIR can even run a full version of photoshop?
Seems like just yesterday we were blown away that Jobs could fit one in an envelope, now we expect it to handle high end graphics applications.
