[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1367501, member: 56379"] I'm sort confused by your response above. Two of your questions in this thread were: 1. Can't decide on which MacBook Air to get? 2. How many years would you expect a MacBook Air to last? How do you figure that your [i]"computer will be upgradable for a very long time"[/i]?: - the ram is NOT upgradeable - the storage capacity is not "intended" to be upgraded - the ONLY thing that is upgradeable is the OS (when new versions are released). Usually when folks talk about "upgrading" their computer..they're talking about hardware upgrades...and basically...nothing on the MacBook Air is internally upgradeable. It also depends on what someone considers a "very long time". When it comes to computers...I would consider 5-7 years a "very long time"...but someone with "serious" computing demands...may consider 2-3 years a very long time. Again I'm very confused by your reply quoted above...[i]"Well, my computer will be upgradable for a very long time, so I'm not very worried about how long the Macbook will stay 'good' for, since if I ever do something that uses a lot of CPU or anything, my computer would be faster anyway."[/i] ...since you're the one asking the questions...you seem to be answering them as well with this statement (not sure what info you're basing this statement on)?:Confused: - Nick [/QUOTE]
