I'm really interested in buying a macbook air, going to be using photoshop/dreamweaver, the usual basic web design / graphics design stuff and im wondering what peoples experiences are with the MBA? Will be upgrading from my old G5, i'm probably going to go with the macbook pro so can use it to watch movies in bed, but for some reason after seeing the MBA in store I can't stop wondering whether I should go with it!
Any advice is appreciated!!

Well unless you drop the movie files or stream them watching movies in bed won't be real possible or at least not as easy.
I dunno I'd say go for the Macbook especially if you watch movies from DVD's if not then go for Air. -
The MBA is better for movies IMO cuz the MacBook's screen isnt very good. I would just go into a Apple store to check both out. The size of the MacBook is not much bigger than the MBA though.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Carry on. -
I just bought a Unibody MacBook and I'm seriously contemplating selling my Air.
Not that I don't love the Air, but I'm just not sure I really need to have two MacBooks anymore, and the new Unibody design is close to the Air that it almost seems redundant. -
Well if you are ok with using Photoshop/dreamweaver with 2GB, the Macbook Air will serve you fine.
If you need more you'll need to go for MB/MBP.
The Macbook Air and Macbook Pro have better screens than the Macbook, especially contrast ratio and black levels are better.
