In my experience, the MacBook air is more than ready to handle pro usage. Hope this helped!

And I’ll go further than below to say the Air was a dud on introduction. No sales. Continual rescue attempts have gotten us to this point. But it was never a home run.

Is this going to replace the curent 15″ model?? If so will a 15″ Macbook Air be good enough for pro level use? Do Apple even still care about pro level users? I’m not quite as enthusiastic as some seem to be! :(

It has obviously been selling extremely well recently, but as far as I see it, that is also in part to its re-vamps – no latches, better specs, and of course the introduction of the ‘SSD’ instead of a traditional harddrive as the standard option – plus the addition of the 11 inch option AND the significant price reduction. These, together with the rising appeal Apple managed to gain with its iProducts, were definitely factors that weighed in heavily during the last quarters. Again, I’m not saying the overall thesis is incorrect, but I think arguing that the MBA was the popular kid right from the start is a little optimistic ;-)
