As the title say, anyone got some hands-on experience? From what I can read, the RMBP seem to get as hot or hotter, but fans are more effective and kick in later then the air.

Since I'll be using it on the fly for "light" 3d modelling (I know, not the airs forte but..), it will push the cpu/gpu more then wordprocessing.

I read this article on the RMBP - http://southerngfx.co.uk/2012/06/4503

quote - I heard today of an artist with a new machine that is overheating when running ZBrush but so far after 15 hours of ZBrush work I’ve not even heard the fans kick in.

Think the air would handle the same?
