Looking for advice with replacing my iMac. Would it be possible to replace it with a MacBook Air or should I replace it with the MacBook Pro Retina?
Let me provide first how I currently utilize my iMac. Web surfing, emailing, minor photo editing, minor video editing of small videos of my family, digital backup of DVDs we have purchased (handbrake), using MS Word & Excel, and Pages & Numbers. NO gaming. I store all of my media currently on 2 external drives. All docs and photos on a 1 GB drive and all video media on a 4TB drive.
I'm interested in a 2013 MacBook Air i7 8GB. 256 SSD. Would this model be efficient enough to provide all of the above functionality or would I be better off with a 13" MacBook Pro retina i5 8GB 256 SSD?
Thanks!
