Has anybody played EVE Online on any model of the new macbook air and if so how is it? I downloaded the 14 day trial and as soon as I started it up my fan started going the loudest I've ever heard it. I assumed it would run well because it is advertised on Apple's website, but apparently that may not be true. What is your experience?

UPDATE: After reading some more posts on different websites and seeing performance, I decided to ditch EVE online. It sounds like it is probably the worst game to run on a macbook air.
 
About to buy a MBA 13 I7 1.8

Hi,

Just did a search for this as i am buying a MBA this weekend and i totally didnt think about my EVE account. I currently have a now old Sony Vaio and am used to playing EVE on low settings and being the only game i play on a computer (i have an xbox) i was hoping it would play well on the MBA.

Has anyone had a real proper go running EVE on the MBA, if so i would like to hear your feedback.

Cheers,
