I currently have a 15"mbp that I picked up last May as my first mac. I have to say I really enjoy the operating system and the apps so far. I have a dilemma coming up and was looking for input from those of you who have experience working on a mbp and an air. At some point I will probably be switching out my 15" mbp for a newer 13" air and I was looking for advice on ease of use, readability, and speed.
Currently I teach at a local high school and utilize my laptop to work on my school stuff and occasionally for connecting to a projector to run some third party presentation software. I do currently play some computer games on my laptop but would not be running those on the air. It would be primarily for internet, pages, numbers, etc. that I use day to day in/out of the classroom. At some point I would also be picking up an imac to handle any heavy computer needs at home, but I was thinking the air would give me a lighter option and more portability.
I realize that I will be giving up some power and screen space and was wondering if any of you who have used both platforms could give me some insight. I do plan on going down the apple store and trying the air out long before I buy it but I was looking for any personal experience some of you may have working with both laptops.
Any information would be appreciated.
