13" PRO or AIR?

[anon(62000)]

Agreed, the only good thing I can see about the AIR is that it uses a solid state drive, but no CD drive.

If you really wanted to you can install an SSD in your MBP yourself.

I would go with the AIR but purely because of aesthetics.

For the cost of upgraded SSD in this market right now...you could have seemingly INFINITE storage on a normal Macbook or MBP. 1TB internal is coming WAY down, external is already super cheap.

This is true. I just bought a 1TB external for CHEAP. Waiting a little bit for prices on the internal, and I'm all over it.

Internal MB/MBP drives at 1TB are hovering around the $115-$120 mark. Amazing deal when you think of what even a 250gb drive cost as little as a year ago.

Good idea. But if you have an extra couple hundred dollars around and want a really good machine, why not spend a bit extra and get your money's worth.

Personally I wouldn't buy a Mac at this time. January is right around the corner and Apple may update the machines by then.

January? I think I'm going to hold off on my next mac until Lion is released. Hopefully by then I can get a 3.0 Processor, 16GB ram and maybe 1TB hd. *dreams*

you can get that in the 27" iMac today. (Minus the 3 GHZ) TB comes standard and for $1,000 more you can get a 16GB of ram.



and Trust me, any mac that comes out in January-March will support lion just fine. I don't think there will be any major design changes if the new macs in Jsanuary havbe a design change.

Aren't the Macbook airs hobbled by a lack of ports or something?

And yeah, for the price of 1 128GB SSD, you can get like 3-4TB of storage. It's not even funny anymore.
