  • Excellent review! Thank you for all the info.

    Could I work with Final Cut Pro X on this when I'm away from my 27" iMac?

    Thank you,

    Tim

    PS. Better to wait to see what the new ones will be like in 4 to 6 weeks.

  • @chessdude67 It does, but not a great choice for 720p or 1080p video editing.

  • How would this hold up for a semi-pro photog that would use Photoshop CS5?

  • @soccercup8 Not as good as a MacBook Pro, but it gets the job done. I use it for 20MB raw files and it performs pretty well.

  • Do you suggest the i7 over the i5 for the extra $100 on the 13" in MacBook Air?

  • @theforensicsexpert The performance difference isn't huge between the ULV Core i5 and i7, so I wouldn't call it a must have upgrade.

see all

  • @wakenbakejake420 not a netbook dumbfuck

  • who the hell would pay 1000 bucks for a netbook?

  • @23rdnightmare People who want reliability/security and 1 gbit ports. On an ultrabook it's not worth it, though.

  • Should I buy a MBA 2011 model 13inch now? Or wait a month or two for the 'potentially' new 2012 model?

  • how does final cut pro run on the macbook air?

    

  • @Ard5665 We should see them for sale in March. Make sure you wait, even it's a few weeks later. Well worth the wait. It stinks when you buy one and a new one come out a month later.

    Take care.

  • the lenovo one looks really ugly comparing to the air.

  • @chessdude67 when are the new airs meant to come out? I'm wanting to get one for my birthday on march 12th so i was wondering wether to hang on or not

  • @MrLubban I see, thanks!

  • @CopyNinja87 If you are going to buy a computer for gaming, you should not buy a Mac, atleast not a MacBook.
