Heyy, I work as a react developer mainly but I also do some flutter and nodeJS on the side, and I'd like to be able to casually run photoshop aswell for normal photo editing nothing too demanding, I'm coming from a dell gaming laptop which I plan to keep for gaming but I'm consider the 2019 Macbook Air for a daily driver for work and school, so aside from the above,
  • Would I get decent battery from this?
  • Is the keyboard issue that's been causing noise atill present on this model?
  • Will the specs suffice my needs or do I need to move to the pro lineup?
  • Is the "dual core" bit something to worry about?

Many thanks!

1| Yes
2| I don't think so, since I have a friend who got the early 2019 version
3| He does Photoshop and Illustrator on the Air and recently did a video using iMovie but he intended to use Premier Pro
4| For the form factor, you can't really complain about lack of power, honestly.
