These benchmarks so far are rough guides. The only real benchmark we should all be interested in at this stage is to what level these things run Live 8.2.
The rest is personal preference.

Re: New Macbook Air - A good gigging machine?
As far as size constraints for a performance there would be absolutely no difference between a 13" MBP and a 13" Air, and I'd really like to see a space where a 13" wouldn't work but an 11" would. In the UK DJ booths are perhaps not as big as US booths. I mean look at the size of your DJs :) People...

Re: New Macbook Air - A good gigging machine?

Must be someone getting one of these. Waiting for sine feedback

Cant beleive that he uses PCDJ - PCDJ is a kids toy!!!! Greg Wilson would do better than that, He produced most of UK Electro i have spoken to him many times.

Many of these USB2 interfaces will be fine for people who don't need to stream audio into Live in realtime (*cough* DJ's *cough*). *Out* of, not into surely. Most DJs just use a handful of channels for output (in fact mostly just two stereo). USB2 can cope with that surely as my old USB 1.1 maya44 ...
