MacBook Air 13" Or MacBook Pro 13"?

[Brett]

I'm looking at getting one of these two laptops and I'm wonder if the MacBook Air will be good for what I want it to do or will I need to go with the MacBook Pro.

I'd use the laptop to do movie editing with Final Cut Pro and watching HD videos online. I will multitask, such as having a video rendering in Final Cut Pro while watching a video online and have a few other tabs open, such as google, facebook, twitter etc... I also do some light gaming, I play games like CrossFire, Garry's Mod (G-Mod), Team Fortress 2, A.V.A and other light games like those.

My MacBook Air setup would be

Processor - 1.8GHz Intel Dual-Core Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 2.8GHz

Graphics Chip - Intel HD Graphics 4000

Memory - 4GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM

Hard Drive - 256GB Flash Storage
- Price - 2018.94$


Setup for the MacBook Pro -

Processor - 2.5GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz

Graphics Chip - Intel HD Graphics 4000

Memory - 8GB 1600MHz memory

Hard Drive - 256GB flash storage
- Price - 2596.44$

Price wise, I would much prefer the Air, but will it do what I want it to do and will it do it well?
I don't really care if the Air doesn't have a CD drive

If you really want the CD drive then you can go for pro, other wise air itself will do a lot of job...........as I have pro but havent used the CD Drive till now....
