[QUOTE="skallal, post: 1526749, member: 268318"] I've been silent for awhile, but have some additions to my arsenal. I was toying with buying a new MBA 13" i7 with all the trimmings. Instead picked up an early 2011 MBP 13" i7. I've already upgraded the RAM to 16 GB, twice the max speced by Apple. The hard drive is still the stock 500 GB for now. Simply put, there is substitute for better hardware. The thing I regret is the screen resolution at 1280x800. Should have looked for a 15" instead. Of course an external monitor is an option when at home. Virtualization is SO much better now. I'll probably be selling the Mac Mini, though it can still be a light weight server or HTPC. And any further discussions about the MBP belongs in another forum... [/QUOTE]
