I am looking to purchase a laptop soon but I am very undecided at this time in which direction I should be going in. I have read some articles that some photographers are hooking up with the macbook air. I would think that as a photographer that you would want a macbook pro, something with a little more beef to handle the work load. I would only be using this for portrait and studio work and do plan on using my passport HD for my files. Which do you think is the best direction to go in and why? Thanks
