As all of us owners of previous generation MBAs know, heat dissipation can be a problem, particularly when playing Flash videos and other processes that really peg the processors for an extended period. Once the heat builds up too much, the processors would even throttle down giving us choppy videos and Flash animations.

So I am curious to hear from MBA 13" owners who have upgraded to the new MBAs. How is the heat dissipation? Do the fans throttle up easily under Flash? Are they as loud and as frequent as the old ones?
