I'd recommend purchasing a $10 software named CoolBook. After installing and configuring that correctly, the Rev.A MacBook Air is an amazing machine. I'll have 8-10 tabs open in Safari, while watching a movie in Quicktime, with iTunes open and Mail updating every minute and have no noticeable slow downs, at all.

Flash Video - Yes, works great.
HD Video - Via Plex or VLC works great. Acceptable on Quicktime.
Flash HD Video - Based on personal experience, you may experience occasional stuttering. YouTube HD works fine, but HD 720p via flash stutters for me.

If you're not going to be encoding video on a daily basic, or watching HD flash online too often, the MacBook Air is perfect for you.

i was having trouble even watching youtube with my rev A air. installed coolbook, it's fine, better than without coolbook, but still it's so hot and sometimes it stuttered. sold it and bought the rev B, it's really worth it since.
