MB Air or MB Pro for UltraStudio Express Playback Solution

PostMon Sep 10, 2012 3:14 pm

I need to setup an UltraStudio Express play out solution and am wondering which MacBook I should choose. This will only be used as a clip store and play out device connected to an ATEM 1M/E. My experience says that the SSD on the MB Air is a good solution, but do I need the extra graphics capabilities of the MB Pro?

OR
