Re: Trading up for my MBP
Since you do audio editing I wouldn’t go with the Air. mine was a little slow for that. I have the 13” Macbook Pro and it’s fast with not being too big.

Re: Trading up for my MBP
Thanks Alex, this was indeed a helpful article. I’m thinking the 13-inch MBP is more what I need. My current MBP does have both a headphone and mic jack.

Just a reminder that, if the Air fits your needs in all but audio jacks, there are plenty of USB sound cards available that would give you all the jacks you could want.
