Hi, so im going to be purchasing a new macbook one of the following days. However i'm in much doubt which one I should buy. I will be using it mostly for school (running parallels) and for editing my GoPro videos.

I cannot decide between the 1,7ghz i7 Macbook Air 13", with 500gb storage and 8gb RAM or the 2,8 ghz i5 Macbook Pro 13", with 500gb flash storage and 16gb RAM.

I've heard rumours that the Macbook Air is actually almost as good as the Pro, despite the much cheaper price. Also the 12 hour battery is quite a big plus for me. I'm just wondering if it will be performing choppy when editing videos?

Is it worth upgrading the Macbook Pro to the 3,0 ghz i7 processor?

Thanks for helping :)
