[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1497595, member: 56379"] I would not recommend a MacBook Air...simply for the reason that considering your CS6 (and maybe CS7) requirements...the MacBook Air does not have dedicated graphics hardware. Where does this leave you??...only the 15" MacBook Pro's have dedicated (more powerful) graphics hardware. With all of the graphics/video work you will be doing...you most likely will really need a laptop with powerful graphics hardware. This leaves you with the choice of a: - 15" MacBook Pro - 15" retina MacBook Pro If you don't need/want the retina MacBook Pro...then this leaves you with only ONE choice...and that's the 15" MacBook Pro (non-retina). There is only one stock model of the 15" MacBook Pro (the 2.3ghz model) for $1799. So your decision is rather easy after narrowing things down.:) HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
