Hi all.
I'm heading back to school this fall. Going into a Computer Systems Technology course (college level) and I'm planning on getting a laptop for class.
I have a 27" iMac at home already, and an external hard drive so drive space isn't a factor for me.
I'm leaning towards an air, mostly due to its smaller size and weight as I will be biking to and from school most of the time. I wouldn't rule out the 13" base mbp, but I think it might be overkill for what I need.
Use will be a bit of coding/school work, note taking, and general surfing on the couch kinda stuff. I imagine I will use the school computers or the iMac at home for the most part when coding.
Just wondering what your thoughts are. I'm torn a bit between the 11" ultimate and a 13" base air with the memory bumped up to 4gigs. On the refurb site they are the same price. Looking at the 11" because of the portability, but worried the screen may be to small? Probably over thinking it, but thats what I do. Lol.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
