The ladyfriend and I are going travelling and would like to do some video/photo editing. We have currently a Macbook Air 13 2014 i7 256GB 8GB with Apple Care till Feb 2018. We have an offer to sell it for £900. One of our first destinations is Malaysia (about a month in) and I can see we can buy a Macbook Pro 13 2015 i5 128GB 8GB for around £850. For the purposes of video/photo editing, I'm guessing the Pro is better? Which one would you go for?

The PRO is better but not by as much as you'd think. However the screen is brilliant and worth it all day long. I'd go for it just for the screen.
