I find that the people at the Apple Store are just biased. More than likely the guy you were dealing with just had something against the MacBook Air, and steered everybody towards the Pro.

I edit light videos all the time on my MBA, just buy it anyway :)

The Geniuses I've dealt with at the New York stores tend to like the Airs a lot.
 
Just do your research online and buy what you personally consider will best fit your needs.

Apple Geniuses's recommendation will always be biased to what they personally prefer.
 
Funny thing is, the Apple guy at my local Best Buy told me that in his opinion, the Retina was for graphics professionals, and advised me to keep my year old MBA.

You know what they say, opinions are just like :censored:, everyone has one.
 
I know how u feel. I was at the Apple Store and they also said I won't be happy with the Air and should go with the Pro but I went with the Air with 8gb of RAM and couldn't be happier. No problems what so ever. Really glad I didn't listen the the Apple employees. Just pick the one u want. Trust me the Air will not disappoint.
 
The 2012 MacBook Air with 8 GB Ram is "ALL THAT....and MORE" You will definitely be satisfied.
