That's a good article, but the comparison should now be to the 2011 MacBook Pro, which is covered in this AnandTech review: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4205/the-macbook-pro-review-13-and-15-inch-2011-br ings-sandy-bridge

When I was looking at the MacBook Airs, I came to the conclusion that I wanted one for portability and reduced weight, and that expecting it to be a graphics computer was a mistake. I really don't want to do serious editing in Photoshop without at least a 15" screen that can be calibrated properly and is preferably matte/anti-glare. Consequently, I decided to forget about running Photoshop and got the 11" Air, which truly is ultra-compact and ultra-light. If I had no choice but to run Photoshop on an Air, I'd get the 13", but to my mind the 15" MacBook Pro with the high resolution, anti-glare option makes more sense if Photoshop is a priority. I also think that the new Thunder Port in the MacBook Pros is going to be very handy for people who want to move around/back up large files of images.

Photoshop works fine on a MBA. I constantly use it and it works perfectly, no issues whatsoever. But if you do heavy art work I don't recommend you buying a MBA. Things like web design, photo editing and light art is what the MBA could handle when using Photoshop.
