Will be second hand and possibly upto a couple of years old (budget and luck dependent) but there are that many out there with different specs/customised/upgraded etc I'm a bit lost in the minefield! :[ I have done a fair whack of reading on what is what but one possible offer has me a bit :confused: So...which is better....a 2011 MBAir 128GB SSD, 4GB, i5 processor @ 1.7ghz with OS X 10.7 .....OR... an upgraded MBA (2010) to 2.14Ghz C2D, 250GB Flash Drive, 4GB. OS X 10.8 Things it will be used for are photo editing and music production inc vocals (but not ridiculously multi-tracked - 12 tracks at most i would think). Please no insults or arguments (seen how forums go...:Oops: ) There is not a lot of £ difference in the two but I'm not sure newer is better, but then I'm not sure it isn't. Any advice appreciated.
