I'm toying with the idea of having Photoshop mobile with me for my second installation, and while I have this self-built uber-expensive custom Windows nuclear bomb of a desktop PC, if I go for a laptop it's going to be a Mac (and the CC subscription allows you a 2nd install on either platform). I'm spoiled by the iPad so I have zero desire to lug around a heavy laptop, so if I do this it's going to be the 13-Inch MacBook Air with the i7 and 8GB ram upgrade. Anybody running that setup currently? I'm hoping to find out about performance being it's only built-in graphics. Mybe that's a moot point given the i7's dual threading and the SSD speeds.
This would be some upgrade. My last Mac notebook was the 16-pound Mac Portable in 1990... monochrome NON-backlit LCD, lol! A second MEG of RAM cost me $200 and the whole thing was $4600. How far we've come. The craziest part of that story is that I sold it a year later for $3800. Wheeeeeeeee!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Paul
Not running an in Air, but running it on my MacBook Pro retina 13" with I7 processor and 16gb of memory, 512 SSD. This is my teaching laptop so I'm running LR and PS CC. SCEAMING fast. This setup is 1/2 pound more than the Air in case you are interested.
