dont know if i should get the air or pro. going to be the 13" base models.

theres tons of articles out there comparing the two. i dont need to have the lightness of the air. i just want a solid and reliable machine. will be using it on a day to day basis as a daily driver at home and will be batch editing photos 400-1000 at a time in lightroom/photoshop? and data entry and stuff at work.

thanks in advance guys.
If mobility is not an issue, I would get the MBP 13. Brigher screen, and higher color accuracy stock. You do lose 10% of the workspace (lower res).

If you dont use the superdrive, you can swap it out for a secondary hdd (use it for backup, and switch the primary drive to a SSD). You can also upgrade the memory to 16gb easily for under $100 with a screw driver in 5 minutes.
