Hi, new to the forum but been using macs for a good few years now in different jobs, and tbh wanted one since the first time I used a Mac.

I'm stuck between the MBP 13" 2011 and the MBA 13" 2011, just after some advice about performance tbh!

I will be mainly using the computer for browsing, a bit of office work, and watching videos via TV. Once every couple of months I use photoshop / corel draw for a bit of design work, nothing major the same with video editing but this is nothing more than a few home cycling videos so i won't be using anything other than imovie.

I like both systems and can get them for a relativley similar price within £200 of each other, is the MBA worth the extra £100? (i'd say the extra protability of the system is worth at least £50 haha)

Any help greatly received, thanks

Chris

I have been going back and forth with this and I'm going to be running OSX/WIN7 and some turbo cad programming and I'm going with with the 13" air with 4 gig ram and 256 gb memory. I can't get past the air design...

I love the design and style. lightweight, elegant, and fast.

the pro is a kick *** rig but the looks and feel of the air wins out.

If you care about utilities and hardware I would go with the MBP, If you want speed and portability and don't mind not having some utilities (such as the optical bay) then get the MBA.
