Hi everyone, my name is Nick and I'm a mac newbie. I have been reading the forums for a few weeks now to get some ideas on what to buy, here is what im looking for.
Laptop for sure, no bigger than 15inches, backlit keyboard, im not going to play games on it so it doesnt need to be too fast, I will use it for pics, music and rarely for video. I also will use it to burn DVDs, backup movies. My plan is also to buy a airport extreme so I can attach my Ext HD to it.
So the Air is really tempting and I played with it at best buy a little bit, but the macbook pro can do a lot more, so I cant decide what to buy for my fist mac computer. any advice will help, anything I should know about the pro or air will help also. I have $2,000 - $2,200 to spend for everything.
Thanks,
-Nick
