Hello All,
New to the forum, and quite new to MAC and IOS. Use to be an Android fan. I will be upgrading out of my Windows machine and hopping on to Mac. I am having a rough time deciding what will be best for my needs. I am on a tight budget and don't have tons of money to throw at this. I have played with both MBA and MBP, I love the light weight of the MBA but I know the MBP has more performance. I mainly do just browsing, video messaging, word and excel. I do light audio editing for podcasts, which I think I would use Garageband, and eventually upgrade to Logic (I use Sonar X2 now), and some light photoshop. (I have an external for storage)
My heart is on the MBA, but want to make sure I make the right choice. Like I said it will mainly be word and excel, web surfing, and video messaging, light recording and photo editing in photoshop. With the new Haswell processors, do you think the MBA can compete pretty well with the MBP. I will be upgrading to 8GB RAM.
Thanks
