I'm talking MBP, not MB.MacBook faster than MBA meh?
To each their own. Using MacBook for more than a year now, and I am not used to the keyboard on my wife's MBA now.
And when I need to charge my MB, I can use a power bank to charge it.
I am going to do photo and video editing.
Just attended course and finished today.
Advisable to use MBP for photo or video editing because u need the graphics card.
My course lecturer lecturer told me.
Video editing I should go for at least
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640
I am looking at this

The Intel Iris Plus is an integrated graphic chip, not a dedicated graphic card.
Previously, I used a MBP 15" with the Intel graphic chip and work on Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects. It didn't worked out for me and I had to do an exchange for a MBP 15' with dedicated graphic card.
Not sure how is the result with Final Cut/iMovie with MBP Intel Iris though. Others may want to share your thoughts.
Most people will still need to get adapers to convert from usb c to usb.
MBA has a thunderbolt 2 port, which you can get an adapter to expand to more usb ports/ethernet on top of 2 usb ports + SD slot. Keyboard is also better.
Most importantly, MBA still uses MagSafe adapter. This feature saved my MBA a few times when my toddler nephew liked to suddenly ran to the wire and started pulling for no reason.
No issues getting usb-c adapter when generic ones are available from Lazada at around 10-15 bucks.. unless u wanna buy those geeky ones that cost a hundred bucks or so
MBA is reaching planned obsolescence with no new technologies or Retina screen being added in. Hardly advisable to get in 2018.
What was the gpx card on your MBP?
Any input would be appreciated?
Is the Radeon Pro 560 good enough?
Currently, my gpx is a Radeon Pro 555 with 2GB VRAM.
Works for me and have a better experience with it compared to my previous Intel Iris model.
So minimum is the one with Radeon pro
Thanks
Got mine from taobao... cheap cheap, buy 2, 1 free, 50c each only.No issues getting usb-c adapter when generic ones are available from Lazada at around 10-15 bucks.. unless u wanna buy those geeky ones that cost a hundred bucks or so

I have both... bought the MBA in 2013, and MB12 in 2017. Like you I use mine mainly for Photoshop and Lightroom, My take is: just get the MB12.
MB12: sleeker, equally powerful as the MBA. Much better screen. Keyboard takes a while to get used to but that is no big deal. single USB-C port is not an issue as you can always buy adapters and keep one in your bag.
MBA: other than the full size USB ports... and I do miss the charging indicator on the charging port.
