[QUOTE="Dieter3, post: 1546091, member: 201904"] The biggest complaint I hear with the Air is the 128GB of flash storage - runs out quickly! It really depends on what you need to do, how much you need to store. Yes, the flash storage makes up for the slower processor, ONLY in boot times, and launching applications, read/write - as has already been stated. In either case, I'd put a minimum of 8GB of RAM into what ever you decide. Depending on how much you REALLY need to store, you might consider in the case of the MBP - removing the HDD, and replacing it with a smaller SSD, say a 240GB - figure about $1.00/GB or so, and then buy an external case for the 500GB factory drive - use it as a backup disk. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
