Hi All,

Hoping one of you geniuses can give me some advice. I have the last model MBA 13" "ultimate" and I have loved it since i purchased. I've done pretty much everything I needed to do on it. When using FCP it's a bit sluggish and slow for certain functions -- but for the most part, I have never become 'frustrated' with it.

NOW my question is this. I have an opportunity to sell my existing MBA to a friend and pick up the revised, faster, sandy bridge version.

Do you feel the "lesser" GPU would make this machine WORSE/SLOWER than my 2010 MBA Ultimate when it comes to Final Cut , IMovie, Photoshop, etc?

This is a huge issue for me. I would not upgrade if not for the opportunity to do so, but since I do have that opportunity I am considering it. That being said, I certainly don't want to have a downgrade in the areas I use most.

Thank you!!!!!! MD
