There's a cool feature in OS/X that I only really started using this year. In OSX, you can "extend" your desktop without the need for multiple monitors. I think its called a "Virtual Extended Desktop". You can create additional desktops, and then "swipe" between them using 3 fingers on the trackpad.

When I want to work on my Macbook air, I setup a desktop with an HTML editor in full screen, then create a second desktop with a browser in full screen, then a 3rd with FTP, and a 4th with Photoshop for example.

Then to switch between screens, all I have to do is the 3-finger swipe left or right on the trackpad.

It's surprising natural, and moving between screens is instant. It's much better than trying to pack the 4 windows all on to the same screen, or click between them.

Of course this also works if you have 2 monitors and an extended desktop.
I'm used to work on a single monitor, but having tools on the side would definitely help.
I guess I'm more or less convinced to get a slim 21,5" screen + i.7 8GB macbook air.
