I am about to buy a new macbook. I have owned 3 previously including the one that i'm using now...
I don't know enough to make an intelligent decision so i'm hoping you can help me
These are the options i'm considering
Basic Macbook Pro (with or without ram upgrade to 8 gig)
Upgraded Macbook pro with i7 and 750gig drive
Macbook Air with upgraded processor
So now, the question is, which of these is the best bang for my buck?
My budget is 1700-1800... my main uses are as follows
General browsing, Netflix watching, general video use
I appreciate durability but SPEED MATTERS to me. I hate it when my computer lags opening and closing things... drives me nuts
SO... is the i7 upgrade worth the cost, is the 8gb ram worth the extra $200 and will i notice the difference, and is the portability of air worth the sacrifice of the storage space and lower processor clock
i know that's a lot of questions, but i hope you folks can help
THANK!
