Funny, this is the exact same machine I bought in July last year as travel, location and backup computer and I have to agree it has served me well so far, especially on my trip "East 13".

Check out the field impressions of a professional photographer here.

Update 16.01.14: Power efficiency findings - my 1.7 GHz MacBook Air consumes 1.9 Watts at 10% display brightness and only Safari with own facebook page open. At 25% brightness (fine on dim days inside) it also only sucks 2.0 Watts. And at 50% brightness, which is totally sufficient for inside working, it takes 2.3-2.4 Watts, when doing nothing other than starring at your facebook page. That's amazing! When using it, especially importing photos or working with Photoshop, it can have spikes of 25 Watts but it returns to this low idle power consumption the moment it has completed its task. Normal day work, browsing, reading, writing, with some stand-by time gives you battery life easily from getting up in the morning and going to bed late. Very nice!
