Jeremy Bruskotter and I were the instructors for a photography workshop at OSU’s Gibraltar Island this past weekend. One of the participants was using a MacBook Air as his travel laptop. What a delightful, featherweight machine. And his photos looked wonderful on the screen.

I had always wondered if a MacBook Air was up to a photographer’s travel requirements. I am currently using a MacBook Pro which is a great travel laptop, but it is significantly bigger and heavier than a MacBook Air.

A brief online search turned up this article by Ben Long. If you are a photographer, a Mac user, and if you are thinking about replacing your travel laptop, Ben’s article will be helpful.
