I want a MBA, and I'm low on $$$. What I need is to run Half life 1, and HL2 *all low is fine*, Half life 1 shouldn't be a problem. I do a lot of Microsoft Office/iWork stuff, Parallels is a must, and has to have a decent portable way to go on the web.

You'll need Rev. B to do any 3D gaming. The Rev. A may be able to handle low rez games, but it will probably get very hot/overheat.

You could get a Macbook Unibody, it'll have the nVidia and be cheaper than a MBA rev. B

I wouldn't get an MBA to play lots of games. Get a MacBook or just play them on the MBP in your sig.
