Hello,
I have a Windows 8.1 Pro Laptop PC. I purchased it from Wal-Mart about 2 years ago and now it is not selling anymore (not sure why because mine works 100% fine).
I want to sell it because the 17-inch laptop is too big for me when it comes to school. It was fine while I was at home watching TV on it and such but now that I am in class and going to school the 17-inch laptop is just ridiculous. I feel like I can't bring it to class cause it would be too distracting even if I were to sit in the back of the class. LOL I have my iPad which I am using for now but I want to invest in something that will work with my iPhone 5S (and then iPhone 6 when it comes out) and my iPad seamlessly. I can easily use my desktop to play any game I want to... as that is what I am doing at the moment anyway.
My questions are...
Anyone have any advice?
I've always used PC so using OSX will be a change for me. Not sure if I can do it since I hated linux when I tried it...

My questions are...
- Is it an easy transition?
- Do you think the $850 (if I get that much) will be enough to cover my new Macbook Air? I was thinking about buying a 2013 version.
- Is there a reason I should get a regular macbook instead of the air?
- Do you think a Macbook is good for class?
- Is there a smaller size I should get for class? I'm looking for portability but at the same time, I don't want it to be too small... like my iPad. Right now that is too small for me to take notes on. I have 70-80 wpm when typing which is why I need a different laptop.
