[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1550429, member: 284358"] The MBA is more geared to those looking for portability without sacrificing a desktop. Its ultra thin, fairly good build and can perform most task that a MBP can, just at a slower speed. My wife and I have one with13" screen, 4GB RAM, Dual Core i5 and 128GB SSD. She loves it. I have even used it for a month solid when we first got it. They can do a lot more then you think. I think after the NetBook craze the past few years, everyone thinks small=slow. This is just not the case with the MBA. Even though its on the lower end of the Mac line, it is still more power then you need for what you asked about. I wouldn't do heavy video editing on the thing. But anything less, it is more then powerful enough. The MBP line is for those looking for multimedia editing, graphics, heavy photo editing, music production, video editing and still have portability. While its no Mac Pro, its about as good as you can get in a laptop and still remain portable. So to answer your question in a shorter answer. The MBA will do all your asking about without any issues.
