[QUOTE="johnnyFIVE, post: 960055, member: 135156"] For portability the Air is pretty ridiculous thin. Ive only had this Air for a few days and its fantastic. Its so small it can fit pretty much anywhere. Since it has a Core2Duo w/ 2GB of RAM I seriously doubt youll have any performance issues at all with it. I havent tried photoshop on this machine yet but I will be shortly. I will let you know how it goes. I personally went with the Air for now because I dont play games, nor do I have interest in gaming on a laptop and I really didnt need an optical drive for anything. I wanted something really thin for portability for work and pleasure. THe Pro is quite a bit more powerful (a little bit faster core2duo but realistically for what youre doing you probably wont feel the difference) the new NVIDIA boards they come with are great for graphics and what not. It also will be more upgradable with the ram as I think the Airs memory is on the board and not upgradable. However it is a larger system. If you dont mind the extra thickness itd be a good choice for you. Either choice I think is great, as recommended I would check them both out. I think my suggestions are pretty much on par with driftnismo [/QUOTE]
