13" Air vs i7 Sandy

Hey guys,

The new 13" base spec air is on offer (for today only) and I really want to move over to osx. However, I don't want to be buying a downgrade.

I currently have a windows laptop with the following spec:

i7 Sandy bridge
6gb RAM
555gt GFX.

80% of the time it's just used for web browsing etc which is great.

However, I also do a fair bit of amateur music production. I use pro tools and ableton. I do sometimes run out of RAM as I tend to run quite a lot of plug ins.

I also play the odd game (WOW and CS:GO).

Am I going to suffer a lot, will it be a massive downgrade? Is there any possible way it could be seen as a slight upgrade?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply.

The problem is, it is an offer on base spec only so can't be upgraded. (£699 down from £949).

As far as games are concerned, I'm not worried about playing them with all the bells and whistles. I don't mind playing on medium-low with an acceptable frame rate. I'm more concerned about the music production side of things.

Sorry to bump this so soon but it's not on offer for much longer!
