This past week I purchased a Seiki for my MacBook Pro Retina . Just for fun I connected the monitor to my 2012 MacBook Air and to my surprise found out that the MBA supports an external resolution of 3840x2160. I was amazed! All the documentation that I've seen only says it only supports 2560x1440 externally. Apple has yet again surpassed my expectations.

One additional note, the refresh rate is capped at 30hz so it isn't might meant for gaming. But videos on youtube looks great and I can't tell a difference. Hope this info helps out the people that are thinking about moving to 4k.
EDIT: correcting wrong word. I wanted to share this info with /r/apple because the impression I got from the web was that you needed a Macbook Pro Retina to run at 4k, which isn't true. A MacBook Air, the correct cable and a 4k monitor is all that is needed to run at 3840x2160.
