Hi.

I have traveled in the past with my MacBook, iPod, Digi Camera etc.

I'm looking to upgrade in the near future and I have a trip planned for 2012 and will be away for around 12 months.

I am looking at either a new 13" MBA or an iPad2 to replace my MacBook.
I want some thing uber light / durable and portable.
I will use it for Email / Skype / Web....all the general stuff. All my music will be on the 160gb ipod, I doubt I will run Itunes on the new device?? Unsure.

My main concern is the space the photo's will take up and back up? I use iPhoto, but may look at Lightroom soon.

Would those in the know advise perhaps a MBP, or either the Pad or MBA with Flash Drive?? I see SanDisk have a 64GB USB Flash Drive available.

Any help or suggestions offered would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
