So I'm in no hurry to do anything, but I wanted to see what you guys thought.
I have a base 2011 11" air (owc 180gb ssd) and I really like it, but now that I'm going to grad school and our classes are in lecture halls with lots of desk space I'm considering something with a bigger screen.
One option would be to sell my MacBook Air and get the new one and possibly a mini to go along side it. I do have a 27" samsung display to use with either. The downside to this is a new air with 8gb ram, 13" screen and 256 gb ssd is the same price as a refurb 27" imac.
So my second option is keep the air and buy a refurb 2012 imac. Because its a refurb I'm pretty much stuck with the 1tb 5400 hdd. But I can expand the memory to 32gb and have dedicated graphics as well as a dual 27" monitor setup.
I'm leaning towards the second option because my MacBook Air is more than capable for most things, especially school stuff (papers, presentations, and a few other minor things). However I do occasionally have page outs with only 2 gb ram.
