[QUOTE="cptkrf, post: 1520814, member: 134861"] I started with a Macbook Pro, then changed to an Air. I'm now on my second Air that is two days old. I don't see anything in your list that would challenge the processor on the old MBA, let alone this new one. However, my opinion is that the 11 inch model is too small for creative work. Be advised that if you need 8gb in an MBA, you have to order it. You can't get that model from the store. No big deal - it will arrive very quickly. As to the storage problem - yes, 128 gb isn't a lot now days, but that still holds a lot of work. A little 1tb laptop drive in your carry bag will fix that problem if you start running short. Just offload the old stuff. I used to carry one till I realized that I could write Perl and C programs (my hobby) until the end of time and not fill up my machine. Also, I don't see that anyone has mentioned that you can attach a large monitor, a keyboard and a mouse and make a really good desktop out of it - and when you unhook and take it with you, your work goes along. Thats the setup I had until I got a Mini for my desktop. [/QUOTE]
