Macisbetter4you · Jul 13, 2009

ok here is goes.........I bought a macbook air about 5 months ago it is the last of the Rev A one its a 13" 2Gb Ram 80Gb HD 1.8Ghz and super clean not 1 scratch on it because i bought the invisible shield and the suede palm rest and the tracpad clear cover and the keyboard silicon cover and a mighty wireless mouse.....ok thats that.........My buddy has a 2006 Macbook-pro 2Gb Ram 320Gb HD 2.16Ghz a few scratches nothing deep and a dead battery..........Is it a worthy trade? or should i keep my air?

depends on your needs. Do you want the light portability of the air, or would you rather have a bit more power and storage while loosing the form factor.

If the MacBook Air suits your needs, than you probably don't have any reason to upgrade to a machine that has more power than you need.

It's much easier to make a decision like this once you remove the emotion of the prospect of getting a shiny new toy.

Think about the way Apple has improved their notebook line over the years. By the time you've reach the end of your Apple Care warranty, there will likely be a model that is 10 times better than both yours and your friend's machine and costs hundreds of dollars less than yours did when it was new.

I'd just wait.
