Good/great for running Lightroom and Photoshop CS3? Considering getting one for not-so-routine use on trips. At home I would still use the MacPro.

    I run CS/4, Lightroom on my MB Air just fine. This is the laptop that changed my laptop life. It goes everywhere with me. I don't need / care about speed so much when I'm traveling - I care about easy to hold & carry :D

    It's not a speed demon but it gets the job done. When using the lappy, I don't care if it takes 30seconds to do a stitch, vs maybe 10 on my Mac Pro.... or whatever.

    Hey Andy - thanks for that. Thinking of getting one for the shootout and to also have around the house/quick trips/etc.

    I never had any trouble running it on mine either. Lightroom was slower, of course, but it worked just fine. I was running Windows 7 on it the whole time.

    Of course, now it's on e-bay, but that's because I needed more battery life, not faster performance.

    It is now sitting on my desk about to have the migration utility run to copy files over. Then, it will have the necessary programs loaded. So far so good.

    Hehe, that's okay! I actually put in the "shameless plug" in case you'd seen my FS thread. I didn't want you to come back with, "Oh yeah? Then why are you selling it!?"

    Enjoy!
