Vim on my 11" Air is excellent. SSD is nice and fast, and I wonder if the total weight is less than the ipad+bluetooth keyboard.

Nope, Ipad: 601 g (613 g for 3G), 11" Macbook Air: 1080 g, I was unable to find the keyboard's weight but it can't be 400 g.

According to Amazon the keyboard weight is 522g.

Making the Macbook Air 11" the lighter option.

That is the boxed weight for shipping.
I have the wireless keyboard (the older three-AA revision) and it's comparatively lighter than my 7" Tab, which is 380 g.
edit: Charlie Stross says 325 g for a four-AA revision in http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2010/05/ipad-wri.... Macworld says 323 g in http://www.macworld.com/article/150600/2010/04/ipadwhichkeyb...
My Apple wireless keyboard (model A1314) has 2 AAs, have there really been that many revisions?
I don't personally recall the four-AA revision. Wikipedia links to Apple's press release http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2003/09/16Apple-Introduces-W... which confirms four AAs.
My keyboard, bought in November 2008, part number MB167LL/A, definitely takes three.
Current revision available on Apple's website is MC184LL/B and that one is well known to only require two.
