I have the same MBA conifguration that you are getting. It stays quite cool for me. For normal use (web surfing, email, iPhoto, etc.) it is a lot cooler than my old Core 2 Duo MBP. The i7 CPU hardly breaks a sweat doing things that the Core 2 Duo had to work much harder to do. I don't know yet what it will be like if I do heavy-duty CPU work, such as video conversion, but I hear it doesn't get very hot even for that.
