hey guys i know you get theese "which mac should i get?" quesitons all time. but my situation is a tad more complicated. i recently sold my first ever mac, macbook pro (2.2ghz). it was just heavier/ larger than i needed. and since im not planing to do any intense video editing, it was overpowered. i got $1400 (was that fair?).
the only computer i have now is a mistake impulse purchase. an alienware m15x. its way to heavy and way too large to actually use on the go. i play A LOT OF games on it and in my busy life thats a bad thing. im trying to quit pc gaming at least, and sell it. however theese days its hard to find a buyer for such a high end laptop. (cost me 3400, and people say macs are overpriced and expensive lol).
i need another laptop either way (if i sell the windows gaming laptop or not). this laptop must last me threw at least junior college. and be very easy to travel with. getting a mac because i actually prefer osx to windows for one reason. with my time spent on osx i realized there was almost no unexplainable errrors. i swear like everyday on windows i get a random error like "critical scrpit aborted erorr code 3252455245".
i would not be using this new mac for any gaming or editing. just internet , text files , email, aim, itunes. i am deciding between the blackbook and macbook air. im defintly leaning towards the MBA. but if i sell the gaming laptop (which could take months) i will be stuck with the mba as my primary computer. and i hate slower machines. thats why im also thinking of the blackbook. theese are the mac laptops i would even consider at this point.
i just cant decide which one.
option a : macbook air with super drive
obtion b: older model blackbook off amazon for 1100 (tiger, 1 gig, 2.16 c2d)
option c: new 1499 macbook black.
help me decide i want to get a little tally going. thanks and sorry for butchering the english languge.
