I am looking to buy a Macbook Air 13". I already have some Thinkpads and do not want to get the larger Macbook Pros due to weight.

1. Will the Air be able to drive the Dell 30" U3011 LCD at 2560x1600? I've read that Apple's Minidisplayport-to-Dual Link DVI cable is a bit wonky.

2. I will be working on iOS programming in XCode. Will the MBA be able to do the job? Will the SSD wear down over extended usage (no TRIM support)?

3. I will also be working on Photoshopping of 21 megapixel files for commercial photography. Will the MBA do the job well?
