[QUOTE="Daddy Elmis, post: 1459442, member: 16533"] Pre-configuring either the 13" Air or Pro with 8m RAM makes them $1300 each, but the Pro has a faster CPU and much larger hard drive, while the Air has a solid state drive that is very fast and boots very fast. To get the bigger drive on the Air really increase the cost, and the biggest you can get is 256gb for another $300. If you have to carry an outboard drive with the 128gb Air standard drive, that kind of defeats the purpose of the lighter/smaller format of the Air vs the Pro. If I were going to do serious software (Final Cut, PhotoShop, ProTools) I'd go with the Macbook Pro. [/QUOTE]
