SketchUp is an easy-to-learn 3D modeling program that enables you to explore the world in 3D. With just a few simple tools, you can create 3D models of houses, sheds, decks, home additions, woodworking projects - even space ships. I use Sketch on an iMac. But I'm thinking about buying a MacBook Air for occasional use with Sketch. Can anyone comment on how well Sketch performs on a MacBook Air with 13-inch screen, 1440 by 900 screen resolution and 1.6GHz processor? I know a MacBook Pro would be better, but would like to know about experiences running Sketch on a MacBook Pro.

Comments Correction to last sentence: 'I know a MacBook Pro would be better, but would like to know about experiences running Sketch on a MacBook Air.' 
 Hey @pomme27I used to work in Sketch on a MB Air (Model 2013) and had no performance problems or even noticeable lags or anything.
But I consider myself one of the lucky fews who don't have any major bugs in Sketch. I hear from others having disappearing text boxes, jumping text lines, … or that Sketch is generally eating up Gigs of memory.
If you decide on getting an Air, I'd suggest going for the max. amount of RAM.
My 2 cents
I also have Sketch on my Mac Book Air (13-inch, Mid 2012), 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB RAM and I have no problems running Sketch. 

Thanks Olivier and Denzil. Glad to hear Sketch works well on the MacBook Air. I guess I am most concerned about the low 1440 by 900 screen resolution on the MacBook Air. It is lower resolution than the devices (e.g., retina iPad) that I would be designing for. Is that an issue when designing with vector-graphics?
 Shouldn't be an issue with the designing for retina screens with Sketch Mirror: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sketch-mirror/id677296955?mt=8I really recommend buying that app it's the only way to really know if your designs work for iPad/iPhone screens.
Personally I did experience some lag running Sketch on my old Air before, but it was the bottom of the line 11'. I would say that even on the 13' though you may want to be a little more responsible about breaking up your designs into different sheets. If you have a whole app in one sheet with many artboards it can get pretty heavy and experience delays. I'm probably the only one irresponsible enough to abuse my computer/Sketch in that way though! 
Hope you enjoy your new comp!
 I'm currently working on MacBook Air 11 with 8 Gb of RAM, no performance issues whatsoever, and there's an option for «Retina Canvas» that scales your artboards down by 50% while keeping their actual size in pixels.MBA (and the new MacBook) are the best computers Apple ever made imo. They are powerfull enough for any design job I'm doing (apps and web).

 Zoom in or change the brush size just by sliding your finger on the edge of the trackpad. Virtual sliders make it easy to control almost any parameter of your favorite app.

 Move your Pogo lightly around the trackpad to hover without inking. Increase pressure to draw; heavier pressure will result in a thicker stroke. Draw into any application that can accept pen input.

 It's actually great. Inklet can detect and reject accidental touches around the edges. This is super-helpful on bigger trackpads.

How do I install and run Inklet?Step 1: When it's done downloading, drag it to your Applications folder.
Step 2: Launch Inklet. You will see a black droplet on the toolbar in the upper right-hand corner or your screen. Inklet will run in the background while you go about your business elsewhere on your laptop.
How do I use Inklet with Photoshop or another drawing program?Step 1: Open a drawing program such as Photoshop.
Step 2: When you're ready to start Inklet, click on the droplet icon and select 'Start Inklet,' or use the hotkey (the default hotkey is control+option+i). Draw with your Pogo on the trackpad. If you don't have a Pogo, you can change the drawing tool to 'finger' in the Inklet drawing preferences.
Step 3: Move your Pogo lightly around on the trackpad to allow the cursor to hover without inking. Increase pressure to draw. heavier pressure will result in a thicker stroke.

I'm drawing, but nothing is showing up?! Make sure you have a drawing program open under Inklet. Compatible programs are listed a few questions down. Also, make sure you have a pen tool selected in your program, and you're not trying to draw with white on a white background. That never works. 
How do I register Inklet? You will be given an activation key in your purchase confirmation email. Activating with this key will remove the demo message in Inklet. Click the black inklet icon in your top right toolbar, and select 'Preferences..' Now, select the Register tab, and paste your key into the text field. If you don't see your confirmation email, make sure to check your spam folder. 
Can I draw without a Pogo? Yes, just change the drawing tool to 'finger' in the Inklet drawing preferences. It's not as easy, but it's way possible. 
Can I use Inklet with an external Magic Trackpad? Yes. If an internal trackpad is not available, Inklet will automatically detect and use a connected Magic Trackpad. Inklet works best on internal trackpads, as pressure sensitivity is limited on the Magic Trackpad. 
How might I uninstall Inklet? Drag Inklet from your Applications folder into the trash
