More and more, it’s looking like I want a MacBook Air to replace my 3 year old 15″ MacBook Pro. While my current MBP has the horsepower to do light video work in iMovie, light photo work in Aperture, and most Photoshop work (without an obscene amount of beachballs), if the speed is like what Macworld’s benchmarks show, I could be looking at a lightweight, ultra-portable solution.

Of course, I’ll need a beefier iMac or Mac Pro at home to anchor my media and do the real heavy lifting for family movie editing in Final Cut and to store my 1.4TB of music, but that’s another story altogether.

What the MacBook Air is, to me, is a living room computer for me and my wife to pass back and forth. A travel computer that we can take on family vacations to pass the time in the car with movies and multimedia. I don’t think it could be my everyday computer, but, as John Gruber points out, it’s a fine secondary machine.
