Hi MinBat,
Though I don’t own a Macbook Air myself, I know people who use them, and have used them myself for periods of time. I think that the keyboard on the 13" Air is perfectly reasonable, and is certainly ergonomic enough to use as a daily driver. I don’t think, however, that it is powerful enough to run hungry software through Parallels. I use VMware Fusion 4 (a competitor to parallels) on a Macbook Pro 15" with 8gb of ram, and sometimes struggle to run certain pieces of software. Parallels might be better, but any virtual software usually means tightened ram availability and slower performance.
To sum it up, I would wait a couple of months until the new Macbook Pro lines are announced; they are likely to be more powerful than the current lines, but as thin as the Air.
I hope that’s helpful!
