Hello everyone,

I currently own a 27“ Late 2015 iMac, but have an increasing need to be able to work on the road, so I would like to replace it with a MBP or MBA. It doesn’t need to be extremely powerful, as I mostly use MS Office (i.e. PowerPoint and Excel) and PDF tools in multiple instances - so rather RAM heavy tasks.

I never had an issue with the performance of my iMac, hence I’d like to buy a device that is capable of doing the same - just on the go.

Would you say the MBA serves my needs, or should I spend the extra money for the MBP?

My iMac has the following specs:
  • 3.2 GHz Quad-Core i5
  • 16 GB RAM
  • AMD Radeon R9 M390 2 GB Graphics
