Hi everybody,
I am a hardcore Apple fan, like many of you, and my current set up is a mid-2010 17" MBP and new iPad. That said, I really just use the iPad as a media consumption device, while I do a *lot* of creation on my MBP. I mainly use programs such as FCP, Motion, Media Composer, etc (I'm a big video person, and soon I will be getting into graphic design). I haven't even considered updating my MBP until recently, as I am going somewhere for 3 weeks which will require constant access to a computer-- and a lot of carrying it around. I was heavily considering the retina MBP, but I'd like to wait for a 2nd or 3rd generation version so more apps will be updated to support that awesome screen.
Here's my delimma: is a MBA good for video work in high power programs such as Premiere Pro, FCP (X or earlier), etc? Where will i notice a difference? Also, is it a bit superfluos to have both a MBA and an iPad? Will they conflict in use a lot of the time or not?
Thanks so much in advance!
