The MBA has more than enough power for my needs - I'm mainly going to use it to take notes in lectures, etc. I'm taking my desktop to college, so any "heavy" stuff can be done with that.
Obviously the MBA gets points for looking awesome. However, it's also not upgradeable at all (aside from the HDD/SSD, but it's a somewhat involved procedure from what I've read).. Is this a concern for what I'll be doing? I really need it to last for at least two years. I'm not the kind of person that needs to always have the latest stuff, but I would like to have the option of upgrading to new office programs and versions of OS X (and have everything still run smoothly).
Basically, does it make more sense for me to get a MB instead, or should the MBA work fine?
edit: Forgot to mention this.. Any speculation on MBA upgrades? Obviously it's a very new product, but there's some conference or trade show or something in June I keep hearing about.. Should I wait until after that to purchase, or is the MBA unlikely to be refreshed then?
