Second life on Intel HD 4000

I am in dire need of a new laptop. I'm tired of buying cheap brands. I have my eye on the 13in. MacBook Air because I want something sturdy and lightweight to use on the go. All I really need it for is SL and web browsing. I already have a high end desktop at home. From what I've read the new ivy bridge + hd4000 graphics are decent for light gaming. Anyone have experience using hd4000 graphics with SL? I'm specifically interested in performance with a decent amount of draw distance etc.

I don't have experience with that chip set, but Tom's Hardware has a comparison chart of all the various graphics cards. How the HD4000 performs with SL in particular could vary, but the chart gives a general idea:

There are also mobile graphics card benchmarks here (HD4000 it number 200 on the list):

The linked page if you select that item has some game benchmarks:
