Hello Technophiles:

I need your help. I currently have a mid-2010 Macbook Pro: 2.4i5 / 8gb / 500gb @ 7200 / HD Screen....

I like my computer and it does everything I need; I hook it up to a cinema display at home. But I walk around NYC a lot, and I'd like to get an 11" Air.


Here's the root of my question: Aside from the larger screen, do the new Airs out power my MBP? I use it for light Photoshop and Word--no games. And I'm thinking that if all I'll lose is the 15" screen, I could just trade it in for the custom Air. But if more would be lost, I could keep the MBP and also get the minimal Air.

Thanks in advance.
