Im fighting between a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro for Christmas!?
Hello, I need a Macbook for school and for hobbies, I know the air and pro are very similar but the slight differences they have is what bothers me!
I need a Macbook for
-Photoshop
-Illustrator
-Indesign
-Final Cut Pro X
-Windows 7(whenever I want to run game softwares in my spare time)
I heard that the Air can handle softwares just fine, obviously not as strong as the pro. Whats stopping me from getting the pro is the fact that its heavier with shorter battery life. However on the other hand, sometimes I stress on the Air being not that powerful to handle a great amount of softwares. The situation is neutral as you see.
Which one is more recommended for me?

The Pro is actually VERY thin and light... not as much as the air, but still, unless you carry it around a ton, it's perfectly fine size-wise. Those programs will need a pretty good CPU, which the Pro has- the Air's is sower- and a good GPU which really only the Pro has... I would say your best bet is the 13 inch retina MBP, unless you can afford the 15 inch which would be a lot more cash, but a LOT better especially if you get the dual GPUs

the macbook pro is more sturdy, but the air is more portable. I prefer the pro, but the air would probably be better for your needs.
