I would recommend you to get MacBook Air, the older 2013 version. All the new 13 inch MacBook Air comes with 1.3 GHz processor, which is not fast enough for graphics designing, while old one comes with 1.7 GHz which is more than enough. So, you can save $300 to $500 by getting the old one. However, if you are a student and Apple provides you a discount, then go for the new one. Nothing wrong with that.
