Hi,

Is anyone out there already doing Rails on a MBA? I am about to buy one but I would love to hear some word about performance.

Textmate is not too heavy duty but I like it to be snappy at least like my 2.0 C2D MB.

I know David has one, but it is the SSD and he says its like 30% slower than his 2.4 MBP.

I am thinking of going with the 1.8 HD, any word about performance compared to other computers? (not benchmark, I am a sympathetic person please tell me your feelings).

I haven't had any issues with it, but I haven't done a lot of rails with the mba yet (got it yesterday).

Full-time developer using Ruby on Rails, Cocoa - never had a dev. machine I've liked more. Migrated from a 1.83Ghz MBP for reference.
