Hello, all. 
I've been contemplating buying a new Mac to replace my ancient iMac G5 for a while now, and the 11" Air undoubtedly fulfills all of my portability needs. It's light, small, and the screen size isn't a problem. However, I've seen conflicting reports about performance. I've seen reviews hailing it as the king of every day-use, but I've also seen reviews calling it nothing more than a glorified netbook. This would be my primary computer, and while I don't do any gaming or anything of that sort, I frequently work with RAW files in Lightroom. Nothing professionally, and not a very large volume of photos, but it can get a bit CPU-Intensive. So my question is will the i7 MacBook Air be sufficient enough to suit my needs, or should I go the heavier (Albeit less expensive) route with the 13" Pro? Thanks in advance.
