I am a photographer and I only use Lightroom. The computing power provided by the Air model is enough. The display, on the other hand, could be better. Is there a way to swap the Air’s display for a MBP’s. Thank you for your time, Carl
Sorry the logic boards are talking different signaling your Air is using LVDS and the retina MacBook Pro’s use iDP. Basically, the answer is no!
