For those that have the 11.6 in Macbook Air, do you guys have a display calibration file you can share? I loaded some images and it seems to be more "red" than the PC's I've been using.

Just got an 11" air to replace a stolen macbook last night, I have a Mac Pro for editing at home and the wife's work supplies her a 15" pro for home use so I wanted something light to use to keep in the photo bag, for programming pocketwizards, and some light remote shooting with the 7d. It is absolutely awesome in both size and weight while having a fantastic display for it's size and being able to shut it and throw it straight into the bag without having to wait for a HD to park is excellent. I wouldn't want to process photos on it but it certainly doesn't seem like it would be too slow, but I have no doubt I would see longer waits when applying filters ect. So while I don't see it as a great computer for a photographers only computer it is a great portable companion to an iMac or Mac pro back at the office/house.

Did you get the 4gb model?

I got 360ish on the new photoshop benchmark using CS5, my i7 did 280. I've been doing some editing on my MBA and am having little to no problems at all

No, we got the 11" 1.4 w/2gb ram and 128gb ssd and it came to $1169 shipped to our door. I have yet to put CS4(i've yet to upgrade) or aperture on it as I haven't set up the wireless network in our house yet and I didn't buy the ethernet adaptor. The Airport Express I ordered should be here tomorrow according to fedex and then I'll be able to share disks from my macpro's drive so I can install iwork, CS4, Aperture, and a few writing programs the wife wants. I had all the PW software and Canon's on a thumbdrive already that I used as a bcakup to the macbook I was carrying so they were an easy install. :) I hope to get alot more time with it this weekend as the wife swiped it for a business meeting this morning. :(
