The Apple Macbook Air how does it compare  email this discussion to a friend?

I am saving for a laptop, but have no idea whether to get a Macbook Pro or the Macbook Air. I want one with lots of power yet portable, I am a writer but my novel happens on a far off world and I need it to do a graphic program as well. So are there any experts that would give me an idea? I would also like a wide screen as well, that is before I have enough money to order it when it comes in our store.

The screen on the Macbook Air is only 13"

I can suggest that if you want to save some $$ PM me & I'll give you my roomie's work # and she can help you pick out something that'll be right for you.

You can also check http://store.apple.com/1-... if this doesn't take you to the right place, go to the Apple page go to the bottom right hand side (I'd call it left cause its on my left hand) under "special deals."

It appears to me that the Macbook Pro is much better. I do need a larger screen. Besides I need the exercise lifting, the Air seems a bit light.

Oh I am happy for you, you'll love the laptop. I have a laptop (LG) and I totally love it.

Except it might be a bit later than I thought. My husband bought a new bed and we went into the Home Outfitters Store, we had a $10 gift certificate but I had to use my HBC Credit Card to get it. Now I am out $600. I have the money to pay for it, my husband said he will and I left the slip to remind him, but he may decde to pay it in two payments, so I would probably have to pay the money first and my pension check does not come until March, too late to go without interest charges.

Yeah I have heard of this new technology that Apple computers have released and announced. They have announced their thinnest Apple Macbook ever, the Macbook Air! I have seen some demo and other videos and it is really thin! I wonder how they made such technology.

I was checking it and for me I think the Macbook Pro would be better. The Air seems a bit too flimsy.

My son has a "Dell" laptop and he loves it. They cannot use their computer room so they got rid of the desk top -- reason, baby now in that room, but they are already saving for their new house, although I suspect they will get a fixerupper.

I've seen the Macbook Air and loved it! it's so slim and sleek..very beautiful. Cant get over its slimness. But it doesn't come with an optical drive so that's one of the drawback I think..coz I would like to have my own cd-rom drive. although it's an advantage for apple in a way..


myLot reputation of 78/100. suspenseful (19610)   ranked 7 out of 3,068 in computers  4 years ago

I would prefer the optical drive and it is so light, I am afraid I would break it. I am not a skinny type lady by any means and the advertisement seems to prefer a younger 17 to 23 type girl rather than an older person like myself.

Macs have some really nice laptops. I own the regular macbook, and it's got the 13.3 inch screen. It's actually big enough for me, and my vision isn't the best. If you want a CD drive of any kind, the air is not the way to go. Good luck in your searches! Macs are great, and they look good!

I want to get a Macbook Pro, the one with the largest screen. I write fantasy science fiction and I have to invent music, and draw maps of weird places, so an ordinary computer will not do. I am slightly on the far sighted spectum, not enough to need a longer arm, but enough so that I need reading glasses when reading extremely small print. So I am saving for one using my myLot and ptr and ptc earnings.
