- Your Mac's Specs
- 13 Inch Apple MacBook Pro; 2.40 GHZ, 4GB Ram, 250GB HDD
*Sigh*, okay I know this question has been asked a million times, but I'm going to base my decision on each and every little thing, as this will be my laptop for the next 3-4 years. I broke it down:
Apple MacBook Pro: $1526.28
-13 Inch
-8GB RAM
-320GB
-i5
-2.3GHz
Pros:
-HD camera
-CD slot
-Better RAM and CPU
-Looks better
-More storage
Apple MacBook Air: $1750.40
-13 Inch
-4GB RAM
-256GB
-i5
-1.7GHz
Pros:
-Can get it now
-Thinner
-Flash storage
-Lighter
Now, the specifications don't matter to me, they're just a bonus (my needs aren't too heavy). The Pro has a better camera, but I don't use it that much anyway. And the one on the Air isn't bad either. The Pro has a CD slot, but I also don't use that very much. Besides, many things are offered as downloads online. The Pro has more storage, but I don't need that much. I told you I was going to look at every single thing, I think the Pro looks better. But that doesn't matter, I mean come on, I'm switching from a PC. The main reasons I'd take the Air over the Pro, is because it's thinner, lighter and uses flash storage which is faster. PLUS, I can get it now as it was just updated. Now I know some of you get annoyed when people want to have "the latest and greatest", but I'm not exactly like that. I just want "the latest and greatest" as long as it'll last until the next update ;P. I'll be waiting for the next Pro regardless of when it's going to be released, which is a downside (unless I get the Air). I'm really leaning towards the Air right now, I just want your advice and opinions! Thanks to anyone who took the time to read.
P.S.: The prices are in Canadian dollars, with the education discount, after taxes, and with a special discount from my dad's work. Oh and I had a sleeve, Apple Remote and Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter in the cart ;P. Thanks again!
