[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1805166, member: 110816"] The Pro line is designed to be more powerful both in CPU and GPU standards. The Air sacrifices the power for longer life. The first question is your 2015 MBP not doing everything you need it to do? If it is, why bother upgrading to an MBA which you are being limited to due to budget constraint? Your use case requires that you have enough RAM to power the applications and a decent enough CPU to manage the work there. The MBA can definitely handle that work with no problem. If you don't do anything more than this, then the MBA is a good option in the future. But if you start down any path of editing or whatever, the dual-core CPU and GPU aren't going to up to the job.
