You can't take your 27" iMac??? Why not? (Lol j/k) Yes the new MacBook Air's are fast coming great machines for a lot of things. One thing my clients noticed with the models I sourced for them, was that the 4GB RAM (Over the 2GB) made quite a big difference. So if you can go the faster model with more RAM (or even the other models with the upgrade) try and go for it. As always, the more RAM helps. And certainly if you're going to be uploading a lot of pics the largest drive you can afford (or want) will help as well. Nothing worse then running out of space.
Overall the new Air's are great little machines. Certainly been selling better the previous models (from my experience anyway). And they run very well. Just my 2c's worth. Hope that helps.
