[QUOTE="bloodysurgeon, post: 1168016, member: 186261"] Hi there I'm looking to get a 'work' laptop. I presently use a standard MacBook, 250 GB, 2.26 GHz which doubles up for home and work. I thought I'd go for a MacBook air - lighter, sleeker, etc - but to my surprise I find that they not only come with a lot less hard drive, but even have slower (am I right here?) processors than the MacBook that I have... Just curious if I've misinterpreted something. I'm pretty happy with my MacBook and don't mind getting another one of the same, I was just tempted by the lower weight and longer battery life possibilities. Is it perhaps possible (or worthwhile) to customise a MacBook air to have more HD space? ps: My usage is mostly web browsing, uploads with FTP, a lot of word processing and using multiple programs (simple things like Word, Excel, Rapidweaver, Spotify, and many different browser windows) all at the same time. Thanks for your help / advice in advance! [/QUOTE]
