I was dealing with

On my ultimate 13 inch version there was a much increased incidence of fan noise after the lion update. So far, the fan has been quiet, which is awesome... hope it lasts!
 
Fixed the issue of not waking from sleep when opening the lid. The was the only problem I really had with Lion, and my 2010 11" continues to run like a champ. :D
 
So far the early word on the Apple Support Forums is that 10.7.1 doesn't fix the wake-from-sleep issue. For me, it's only when it wakes from deep sleep (it takes about 10 seconds and took about half that in Snow Leopard on my 2010). Waking from normal sleep (if it's plugged in, for instance) is pretty quick.

I assume 10.7.2 will be coming out whenever iCloud is announced. Hopefully they will put out some more bug fixes.

Wake from Deep Sleep still took about 10 seconds, and today I also needed to re-select my Wi-Fi network from the list. That's really the only issue I have with the 2011 MacBook Air for now. Everything else has been fine.
 
No, when i pull the charger from the wall while its in Suspend to Ram (not hibernate) it's still loosing the WiFi settings and everything crashes.
 
I have yet to have any issues related to Mac OS X Lion and I still haven´t after this update. All my issues are developer related, like Adobe Flash Player working **** under Google Chrome as a result of lacking optimisation from Adobe and a few third party applications that haven't received any Lion update yet so they tend to make Lion fuzzy at times.

Only issue I've noticed thus far is the wireless connection suddenly deciding to not connect anymore, but all I did (as I had to do with Snow Leopard) was to launching the Network Utility, go under Location, click Edit Location and create my own instead of using the default "Automatic" one. And since then I haven't had any wireless issues whatsoever.
 
What does the memory use look like?

I wondered this too. I just cracked out a 2007 santa rosa - and I had forgotten how little ram snow leopard takes..

Lion was taking 750 wired when booted, and active was another 600 mb..

Snow leopard is all in at about 520.. TOTAL. Lion is taking 3/4 of a gig more just to boot - that's disgusting!!
 
on my 2010 11", my boot up time went from 19 seconds to 13 seconds with the update. It used to boot up in 11 seconds in SL. Still, I didn't really have any issues with 10.7. Glad my boot up time got faster.

After installing 10.7.1, scrolling is now more choppier than 10.7.0 was. :(
I tried clean installing, then applying the update, even tried running Onyx a couple times.

I know it's not an issue for most people, but I like web browsing to be as smooth-looking as possible.

I am new to Mac but a longtime Windows user. In the Windows world, there are so many permutations of hardware and drivers, that it is very difficult to isolate problems like this one. I may be wrong, but in Apple, since they make the hardware AND the OS, would it be safe to say that is one person is having a problem like this, and another one isn't it is likely something added to the laptop and not related to hardware or OS? Perhaps a plug-in or extension?

It would seem that on a clean install it shouldn't do that. That is odd.
 
10.7.1 solved the scrolling problem viewing 9to5Mac.com with Safari. Prior to the update it was terrible with Safari but scrolled nicely in Chrome.

I would tend to agree. I have the same set up as the person you quoted and I don't have a scroll issue. Therefore it comes down to what other software is installed on the computer.
 
I feel like I have more available ram now than I did before. When I booted up I was only using 900 MB versus 1.2 gb

Same for me :/

And it didn't fix the instant on, damn it.
 
Still not able to encrypt an external 3TB drive (probably because it uses 4096-byte sectors instead of 512-byte ones). Gives the error that the bootloader can't be installed, same as 10.7.0 :(

In theory you are right. In practice, it just doesn't work like that. I added nothing to my new MBA except installing 10.7.1 and I still have the scrolling issue and instant-suck.
