Cameron Moll:

I’m not yet convinced it can. I consider it to be passable for the daily rigors of design, development, and editing work, but only marginally.

Both a surprising and respectable verdict. I’m interested in Cameron’s thoughts on who the MacBook Air is suitable for; many people out there have no intentions of running hardware-intensive programs like Photoshop and Final Cut Express (aka my entire family), both of which Cameron described as necessities, and included in his initial (and presumably, current) installation.
