I found it quite snappy compared to my Mac mini with 4200rpm drive. .

Snappy, but quite a bit slower....

I read that review before going to the mall and expected the MBA to be slow compared to my MBP. But after launching a few apps it seemed fine. Just re-read the Macworld review and noticed this:

There is no doubt the compromises made on the MBA will limit the appeal and market.

For the stuff I do on a daily basis every notebook is 'a toy' which is why I'm selling my MBP and buying a Mac Pro. And the MBA will be the perfect traveling computer for my needs as I'm not attempting to make it a desktop replacement.
