11" vs 13" for starcraft 2?

Thanks guys! I found a refurbished MBA 11" ultimate for $1159, is that's good deal? Or should I get a new one with student discount, back to school promotion and free lion?

May I just ask what is the FPS like in 200v200 battles on all low on the 11" air?

If it were me, I'd wait to see what the refresh has to offer. I mean, it's not that far away. The only way I would get one now is if you absolutely needed it. Again, that's just what I would do.

However, the student discount, back to school promotion and Lion are only worth $180. I'm sure a refurb could save you more money than that.

Very low, but bigger problem would be managing that army on that small keyboard . I don't see anyone playing some pro games in SC2 on 11/13" macbook...


By the way, my tip was unnoticed... If OP wants to have best performance, he should buy 13" and play SC2 in lower resolution... I feel like that is common sence yet no1 seems to have the same idea...

Absolutely. MBA 13 is more powerful and while non native resolutions suck ass the low detail will look lice crap anyway.

Too late, I got the MBA 11 =/

Anyone mind sharing their ettings and screen resolution for sc2? Sould I just Avoid all settings that are CPU intensive?

 

[Vazkor]

Why should you?
