    Photoshop/Illustrator should be fine on an Air for graphical work. If you're a photo editor and want to be tweaking huge RAW files, or any HD/4K video work in AE/Premiere/FCX then a Pro would be needed.

    If you're definitely buying Apple, getting an Air should be down to price-point and not portability. As others have said, the new MBP's are very thin and light. I have a mid 2014 13" Retina MBP and I see no need for anything lighter.

    • Solid advice hereHombre_Lobo
    • If you think you can work on 4K on a MacBook pro.. you are dreamingMiguex
    • well, you can... but it already struggles with 1080Miguex
    • I don't do video but a friend who has a slightly lower spec machine than mine handles 4K editing in Motion, AE and FCX just fine. Not sure his exact specs but mine is 8GB Ram, 2.6GHz i5 (not sure if Dual or Quad).orrinward2
