let s see the pros and cons if i choos mba 13...

pros
1 better battery life
2 better screen

cons
1 sacrifice the portability compared to the 11' one
2 extra 200$ is not a small deal to me...

i use it for all my academic work so i need to use it in different places everyday...in lib, lab, lecture, bed, etc...

also i hv another 15' vaio for gaming and storage...and it s a 6-pound machine so it s just like a desktop to me...

though md223 is more portable, 2 hours battery life differential can really make things different...

above all, both 11 and 13 are great products...i just wanna make my money worth so seek for any suggestion...

thanks for any reply...

You are the only person who can rank your priorities. For me, it was battery life.

If by 'better screen', you mean 'bigger', that's true. If you mean visually better, that's not true.

yay i know wut u mean. the 11 has a higher ppi so 13' screen may not be so tempting. im just not sure whether the differential of battery life is worth 200$. u know 200$ means half of an ipad 2...

thanks 4 ur reply.

Since I went with the 256gb SSD, the price difference was only $50.

Well i have a 15' vaio for gaming and storage, so 64g is acceptable...i used ipad2 before...but i found it really an entertaining tool...though it s a fairly good reader(output), i prefer a portable creative operator for my works...mba fits me and my choice is either md223 or 231...
