[QUOTE="acello27, post: 1288091, member: 212911"] I went through a similar thought process. I bought a mid 2010 13" MBP this January 2011. My almost 6 year old iBook G4 just wasn't cutting anymore. Of course shortly after my purchase, Sandy Bridge comes out. I'm not the best consumer apparently. So I saved up a bit of $ and put in a 256GB SSD from Crucial and upped the RAM to 8GB. Speed and battery life has improved. I've been getting crashes (not related to the RAM or SSD - a Flash thing I think) so the reboot time is only like 16 seconds. I occasionally use my optical drive. If I were you, I'd get the MBA with the larger 256GB SSD. I know it's pricey. I ended up putting an extra 600 euros into mine. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
