Yes because I want to see if the SSD compensates for the low amount of Ram.

'Dunno if it's the SSD per se, but the differences are negligible in Macworld's benchmarks.
[marketingtactics.com]
But what isn't factored into those benchmarks is what happens in Mac OS X 11 when the SSD has been "seasoned" (performance degrades over time even with TRIM) and everything takes twice a much memory to do the same job.
I don't see how anyone could reasonably get the 2GB MBA if they can afford the 4GB version.

My wife has a 2010 MBA with 2Gb and frankly I think it's a bit sluggish. It's not as snappy as my
'08 C2D 2.1Ghz white Macbook with 4Gb. My next Macbook will probably be a 13" MBA but it's
going to have to have 4Gb of RAM, I wish they could cram 8Gb in there.

why dont you just buy the Air with 4gig
and call it good?
my adage for computers is, if I can afford the extra
then i get it so it can offer more utility and be able to resell
better down the line..

Lots of beachballs or just seems slow?
