Would an Air be suitable for my needs? Mainly web browsing, photo editing with Lightroom and DAW usage. The only thing that concerns me is the lack of USB slots…
Yes but by the time you spec it to 16gb a 14" M1 MBP starts to look very interesting.

I need to replace my laptop at some point even though I never use it and each time I spec the M2 Air I instantly look at the price and then flick over to the base 14 inch Pro.
