Good read! I'm awaiting my new MacBook Air 2013 that was just ordered for work and as of late I've been playing around with Linux a lot more. Unlike you I could not do my job without using OS X as my primary role is Apple support but that said it would be cool to run Mint for primary day to day work if I can. Many applications I need OS X for but would be cool to test out. Off the bat after reading online it sounds like getting Mint setup on the new MBA 2013 will require some tinkering but hey, something to play with :-)

Again good article!
