Hello everyone,
I haven't posted in a while...i've been consumed by my other obsessions:cars. However, I'm a Sophomore in college and I have $1000 to spend.
I know there's other threads on this, and after reading them, I've narrowed my choices down to the following.
1. iPad 2- I'm unsure if i should go for the 3G option or not. (I have an iPhone)
2. Refurbished MacBook air from the Apple store.
Here's my background: I have an iMac at home for "power" use and to store all my media.
I've decided against the Pro because that's what I had until I dropped it. I never liked carrying it around in the first place.
I'm an Economics major and I do have to write papers and take notes frequently but I figured I can do that all on my iMac. Basically, I'm looking for a lightweight, portable Internet machine on which i can take occasional notes, etc etc.
I've always wanted an iPad anyways and I figured it'd be a good option....but if I'm spending $600+....then i might as well get a "laptop" (Air)?
Excuse my grammar and please don't flame. Just help me make out my mind.
Thanks,
Jay
