For a few moments I thought this would be an actual hardware upgrade. :p

The size of the updates actually matter for the MBA 64GB

if a 133 mb update is a big issue for you then you shouldn't be using an ssd

As if a person owning a Macbook Air has a choice?

If you want choice then you shouldn't be owning a Mac anyway.

That's less than 1/4 of 1% of the space on a 64GB MBA, and it replaces files, not just adds to them, so I really wouldn't worry about it.

Seriously thinking about one of these. Small yet way more powerful than iPad.

Off-topic a bit, yes, but that's what I did. I dumped my iPad for a MacBook Air, and I haven't even thought about touching the iPad ever since. It's been a few months now. Sure, they're two different device, but for the things that I used my iPad for, the Air handles perfectly, too.

Ohh, I wonder if this will fix certain issues like heavy throttling of the rMBP. :)

For people concerned with the sleepimage file, it seems to be easily fixable.

MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

OK, basically you need to create a symbolic link to nowhere in the Terminal:

cd /var/vm
sudo rm sleepimage
sudo ln -s /dev/null sleepimage

That's all.
