I really like the 13" Air form factor, but the high resolution and smaller physical size results in fonts that are a bit too small for my eyes these days. So, I stick with my couple-gen-back 15" with matte finish and 1440x900.
- wes-exp 15y agoThe new full-screen capabilities in Lion can help with reading on small screens (in fact I think that's why they added it). Combined with bumping up the font size in applications, it can be quite readable.
- stock_toaster 15y agoterminal.app is one of the worst offenders, possibly because I like a good monospace font for it (monaco-with antialias disabled). When adjusting the size away from the 'good default' of 11pt, it looks awful. Combined with that, bumping up the size in every single app lowers the value proposition for me, especially given the expense of the laptop itself. I practically live inside my laptop, use it far too much of the day, and anything that makes my eyes hurt more or requires more effort to use instead of less, I consider less than ideal. Full screen (which I quite enjoy by the way) helps neither or those things.

- emp_ 15y agoI have exactly those 2 machines you described, but nothing beats having the MBA on your lap and backpack. When I go to the 2008 15 Pro its a huge screen size impact, but whenever I get to pick which I will use, I always go with the MBA.
