Hi!
I have a really hard time deciding if I should buy the 13'' MBP or the 13'' MBA.
Originally, I thought the obvious thing to do was to go with the MBP, but after I saw the MBA´s good results over at geekbench, I'm wondering if I finally can be happy with the power the Air provides.
The most critical thing I want to do with the computer is to play keyboards live with Mainstage with a fair share of plugins (Some instances of Omnisphere, Kontakt, and other stuff like that).
So I am a bit attracted to the MBA's lower weight and higher resolution compared to the MBP for live use, but at the same time I am a bit afraid of it getting to hot and maybe not tackle this as good as the MBP.
So, how does the 2012 MBA handle heat compared to the 2011 and earlier MBA´s? I´ve heard some bad things about them...
I would appreciate it very much if anyone with Logic installed on their 2012 MBA could run this test and report how the result compares to the other machines: http://www.gearspace.com/board/music-computers/371545-logic-pro-multicore-benchmarktest.html
