Just curious what the experience has been for those of you with new MBA's with the 1.7ghz cpu when you run Windows 8 in Parallels, Fusion, or virtual box. Can you run the VM (which runs MS Visual Studio 2010, IE, and some office apps) on one core and still have enough power left over to run Photoshop or Garage Band?
The MBA would have 8gb of RAM and a 256g drive.
I feel like that's probably asking too much out of a lightweight mobile processor, but I'm getting more and more impressed with how much power can be packed into such tight spaces these days..
