Brief background about my situation. While I do not travel a lot, I stay in different locations throughout the year. (I have a MacBook Pro 15" Late 2008 unibody, in which the screen broke one week ago, unfortunately, right before the new MacBook Pro refresh comes out in April.)
As a result, I use my MacBook Pro 15" for most of my work when I am stationery, but when I go on holidays / short journeys, I can't usually bring it because it is too cumbersome and heavy. I've thought about purchasing an iPad, but it doesn't really seem geared for work in my opinion (Regardless of whether you get a keyboard dock or not).
I'm thinking about getting a MacBook Air 11" or 13" to act as a glorified typewriter / place for jotting down ideas, as well as for searching information. Even if the new MacBook Pros come out, it is likely that I will be getting a 15" to act as my main computer.
What do you guys think about using a MacBook Air 11" or 13" as a secondary computer? I quite like the idea of the 11", but the aspect ratio is a bit off 16:9 rather than 16:10 for me, and the resolution is a bit too high for such a small display (I do not have good vision.)
