Is it weird to own a MBA and a MBP?

I own 15 mbp and it's a great machine(desktop replacement worthy). Is it a gaming machine? I guess it all depends on what you play..

As to owning both mba and mbp? I have both mbp 15 and mb 13. I used mb on my bed to browse and stuff(but even that is being replaced by ipad 2 completely).

Having said that, if you can afford it? Why not? I would love to work on 15 mbp and also have access to 13 mba.

I am not 100% sure however, in your case -- I don't game -- why you wouldn't simply get window laptop for gaming(spend little over grand and get
hardware you need.).

Buying mbp just for gaming purpose is waste of money. IMHO

 

The new mbp seem to be very good for gaming, alot of videos up on YouTube of crysis 2 being played on max so wow would be a breeze and hey if you can afford something why not it's like saying you can get a Honda to get u around places but if you could you would get a Audi

 

You think that's weird? I own a 17" MBP, 13" MBP, iPad and iPhone. Talk about under utilization

 

Isn't the iMac good fo gaming?

 

iPhone, iPad, MBA, MB and MBP, I feel your pain

 

It is if your poor.

 

Don't think of it as "if I can afford it, why not", but rather as "what else could I buy instead?" If you can't think of anything better to do with the money, then by all means, buy the MBP. If you can think of something better to do with it, then do that. If I already had a MBA and an iMac, there are lots of things I'd rather spend that money on than a MBP, but we all have our own priorities and wants.

 

To be completely honest, (and no offense), I think it's weird. But if you can justify it, go for it.

 

Is it weird to own an iPad 2 and a Xoom? :d

 

Yes! Its weird to own a Zoom nevermind a Zoom AND an iPad 2 lol

 

I think it is about as weird as wearing a watch on each wrist

 

Thanks, all I gotta decide whether to buy a MBA or a Samsung Series 9...

I guess that a person who acquires the devices the way your nick suggests, can "afford" them anyway. ;-) If you saw a person with a Zoom and an iPad 2, which device would you find more appropriate to steal?

 

Erm... The iPad 2 because it's the iPad 2 :d

Weird to own a 13" Air and a MBP 15", but a 17" makes more sense.

Totally awesome to own an 11" and a MBP (any size)

 

If you want a pc strictly for gaming, why not build one? For less than the price of the MBP you can build a machine that will run circles around it for gaming.

 

I think it's a little much. Personally, I'd be more on board with the iPad/MBP or iPad/iMac combo than anything else. Makes sense to me.

 

depends on the size

I have a 13" MBP and, having tried the MBAs, wouldn't really care for one. They seemed slower for the things I like to do (browsing and work in Chrome).

I can see why you'd like to have a smaller MB. For light weight and travel, I use my iPad with Zaggmate keyboard--a tad heavier than the small MBA.

 

i think the gpu in your imac will be better than the one in the MBP. If not then buy the MBP with high end GPU and enjoy your games.

Steve Jobs will be happy

 

no, if i could afford it id own both too. but since money is tight after me buying my pimped out 15" i do want an iPad, which is pretty much the gutted MBA in a sense, but then again not really lol.

i want the iPad 2but since i just bought a white i4 and a new mac, looks like ill be buying the next gen iPad, and yes i know it was just updated. But i don't mind waiting a year, ill be enjoying my new mac and my iP5 in the fall. and then spring and BAM! iPad 3! (Fingers crossed for Retina display)

 

No, I use either my MBP or MBA with a 24" ACD whenever I need the real estate when using CS5.

Answer to the title, because it's so silly it deserves a silly answer: Yes.
