[QUOTE="sraw_rats, post: 1532126, member: 309151"] Hello everyone, As my first post I would like your opinion on whether I should opt for the 128 or 256 GB SSD on the new 2013 MBA. I really don't want to spend the extra money to see the space not being utilized. This will be my first Mac as I have been a windows person all my life. I am a college student and the intended use for my future mba will be for application development such as android and web applications. At times I will be using a virtual machine to run windows for C#. I'm pretty much decided that because I will be running multiple applications at once and even running vm's I should go with the 8GB ram. The MBA will not be my primary computer and thus I will not have any media and things of that nature. I may want to dual boot in the future and I'm not sure how much space would be left over from having the Mac and windows os. Thanks :) p.s. It will be a MBA because weight is a must for me. [/QUOTE]
