Hi,
I have a mid 2012 15in macbook pro 2.6ghz quad i7, 8GB, 1TB 7200rpm, Intel HD and Nvidia 650m 1GB graphics. And I am thinking about buying a 13in Macbook Air because I want something thin and light to take to class and use in college. I hate taking my current macbook pro to school because it is to heavy and thick in my bag with all of my books. And I hate the idea of taking a $2500+ laptop to school where is can get broke or stolen. So I have been thinking about a Macbook Air:
13-inch
128GB
1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor
Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz
Intel HD Graphics 5000
4GB memory
I know the air has got a slower processor and less memory and a tiny Harddrive. But I plan on using it to watch HD Youtube videos, and iTunes music videos, along with internet and papers. Do you think I would notice the Air being slower then my macbook pro? Would the SSD make up for it? And the Macbook Air is 2 years newer. Or should I just stick with my macbook pro?
