I am planning to buy the new Macbook Air 13", as I need something more mobile, but only have a limited budget. So the Air 13" seems like a perfect solution.
Currently I have a iMac which I bought nearly 4 years ago. And I need to know if it is worth changing for a MBA. I use the iMac for adobe photoshop, illustrator, After Effects, etc. Nothing high end just basic stuff graphic programming, no advanced video editing.
I am just wondering what is more powerful the new Macbook Air 13" Hashwell 1.3Ghz i5 Intel Graphics 5000, 4GB Ram. For the graphics programming I will be doing on it.
Or my iMac:
2.66 Core Duo 2
Nvida Graphics 256
4GB Ram
Just a side note, what is the new MBA like for doing iOS development using the latest version of Xcode? Would it be slow?
Many thanks for any suggestions,
