It needs to be able to typeset and make simple graphs in indesign/illustrator. It needs to be in my hand by Friday PM. It needs to function without mains power for approx 5 hours. No peripherals, nothing else. That's all.
Primary work machine is a 15" MBP plugged into a thunderbolt display, and I plan to keep it that way for the foreseeable, so I'm ok for intensive use, and I'm happy enough to carry that about for work when I have to. I just want something a little more portable that I can sling in a pannier on tour without losing space or risking my main work machine really, but without compromising what I can do on it.

I don't think you can get a brand new 8GB from apple on time for Friday, their current despatch time is 3-5 working days and that's not delivery time, it takes about a week to get to your door.

The keyboard on the MacBook is very different. You may like it or loathe it. Definitely worth trying out before buying.

Not sure what i'd do with a laptop that has no USB ports on tour. Carry plug adapters for all my equipment? Rely on wifi? non non non
