Going to be getting a Macbook Air to replace my aging Macbook Pro as a portable bring around laptop.
just asking for people whether anyone has experience using the Macbook Air with Photoshop/Lightroom/Aperture,and whether there is any significant performance issues? I primarily use aperture, and occasionally work with photoshop
My understanding is that the new 1.8 ghz i7 processors( I got the highest spec one) are much better than the Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz in my 2007 MBP,
and the SSD would make hard drive operations faster... just not too confident that the Intel HD3000 graphics that come with it would be an issue. I kinda detest integrated graphics... but I don't want to shell out another $500 to get the 15" MBP (taking into consideration the weight too)
Did a Google search, and all that came out were issues with gaming and the intel GPU
PC users using the intel HD3000 chip are welcome to share their experiences too.
edit:
I notice there's also another ongoing thread regarding the GPU and performance...
