So I wanted to buy a brand new Macbook this year as my windows laptop is getting old.
Here is a list of what I do on the Macbook
-Browse the web and read the news
-Watch YouTube videos
-Play mine craft and other flash games on websites
-Stream HD movies from websites
-Facebook
-Twitter
-Store and listen music and photos (at most 16GB)
Most of the times I do most of these simultaneously.
I am planning to use it to replace my desktop and laptop at home. Should I get the 11" or the 13"? Should I bump the processor or RAM up? Do you think i should only have 128GB of flash storage? I do not download too many games or content. Can I view a full website on the 11 inch model? I do not own an iPad. I do not plan to carry the MBA out too often. When the processor gets bumped up to 2.0 GHz, how does it affect the battery? I am not an annual upgrader.
So after sorting out I have these choices:
MacBook Air 11 inch 2.0 GHz 8GB 128 GB flash
MacBook Air 13 inch 1.8 GHz 8GB 128 GB flash
MacBook Air 13 inch 2.0 GHz 8GB 256 GB flash
Macbook Pro 13 inch 2.9 GHz 8GB 128 GB flash
Which do you think is ideal for my needs? My main question is whether I should get 11" or 13"?
Deciding to get a which mac has lead to a daily headache. After I decide whether to get the 11" or 13" MBA. I look at the 13" MBA and 13" MBP. Then I thought of getting a MBP, then I thought it was not as portable and I didn't need that power, and then the whole cycle starts again.
