Is this a fair trade?

[swiftbmx]

I have a 2010 11" Air and was looking to upgrade to a 13" pro.

Here's what I'm giving:
2010 11" Macbook Air, 1.6ghz C2D, 128GB SSD, 4GB ram, Apple Super Drive and $200 cash

I'm getting:
2011 Macbook Pro 13" i5, 500GB, 4GB Ram.

Thoughts? Anyone making out better?

Seems even, but be warned, once you go SSD you don't go back.

I agree that SSD will be something you would take a good look at but you could add an SSD to the MBP and you would have a screaming machine.

Take the deal. Trading a slow C2D machine for an i5 is an extreme win, even if the i5 is not a MBA.

But, you will probably miss the SSD.

It's not particularly good value for money though, is it? They were the same retail price, originally...?

I don't know, I pay much more than that $200 to upgrade my machines, usually. 😀 I don't think it's a terrible deal.
