More than unboxing, let us know if it runs hot and noisy like the old ones...

How can it be noisy?

Hot, maybe....

I got the base 13 model BTO with 4GB RAM. IMO that is the sweet spot for these new airs.

I bought!

I woke up, looked at Engadget, saw that Macbook Air was available on Apples site already, picked the 13 inch (I'd LOVE the 11.6 but for coding its a bit too small), added a beefier processor, 4 gigs of ram, Apple care, and clicked "Buy".

Are you doing coding as in qualitative studies (eg using Nvivo programme?) If you are please tell me the performance on 4 gigs of ram. I am thinking of buying one too. At present i am working on MBA with two gigs of ram (bootcamp) and have to remember to click on save button very frequently as the programme just stop when the laptop is too hot. M thinking that 4 gigs of ram should do the trick but would appreciate your input on this.

Ta ever so much.

I finally bought it online. Was funny, in Canada, a stock MBA ships in 3-5 business days, was totally bummed because I thought BTO would take longer, but as soon as I changed processor it went to 1-3 business days, and added the RAM, stayed at 1-3 business days. Works for me! Should have it early next week Going to get rid of my Alu uMB and power the MBA as my main computer until Christmas.
