The target audience for MBA is not workstation/professional users, for that it was underpowered when it launchaed (current Macbook is the same). That's fine, because the normal or mainstream user does not need that much power to browse facebook and ebay. On my 2012 Thinkpad T-series (8 GB RAM, SSD, shitty display) Idea runs very nicely (Java, Python). But then, we cannot compare Thinkpad and MBA, as they are entirely different weight categories.
