the MBA is delightfully light — I think it's about the same as a 24-70 lens. the screen is bright and given max RAM and an SSD it's fast as hell. throw aperture on it and get an external drive (western digital is what I use) that connects via firewire or thunderbolt and you are set. I use aperture.
I carried around my trusty 17" mbp on my last trip and while the screen is fantastic I was seriously thinking about a 13" mba instead.
I love my 17" MB Pro, and I really wish Apple would start making them again. Resolution (retina display) is a fine thing, but bigger pixels are nice, too!Originally Posted by memostothefuture
But I also have a 13" MB Air, which is great for travel.
+1 .... love the MAcBook Pro. Recently put a 512gB SSD....amazing speed, boots from cold start in less than 15 seconds
sadly I can tell you with certainty that it's not going to happen. our only hope is to upgrade them. I have been thinking about using an iPad as an external screen but it's complicated to set up and the size is so small that eventually I thought 'why bother' and didn't do it.
