has anybody tried using a macbook air for their production system? i am thinking of picking up one in june when they upgrade to haswell but i was curious if people have had success with current models.br

for a tiny bit of extra weight and size is a macbook pro not much faster more upgradable with better connections?br
br
heh, i have done a lot of lugging through airports. my macbook pro is killing me. ;-)br
br
it is more upgradable, for instance it can have 16G RAM, air at most i think is 4. however, i have been using the 32bit version of Ableton so I figured that didn’t really matter.br

I started thinking about this because my work is upgrading my laptop. I am getting one of those new retina 15" macbook pros, 16GB RAM and 2.8Ghz quad-core i7. I then can buy my current one from my company for market value. That was about 1500. This machine is pretty nice. 2.3Ghz quad-core i7 with 8gigs ram and 256SSD. those specs, however, are not that much better than a current macbook air which costs about the same. In june they should be upgrading the air with the haswell stuff which should make a big difference.br
br
so, yeah, that is why i am thinking about this. :)br
