Macbook vs Air

[ajohnson253]

Anyone one here though about exchanging there macbook for the air within there 14 DAYS?

How come if so?

Any of you actually fall through and do the swap?

If so what do you like about the air vs the macbook function wise?

Just my 2 ct.

For me it was the $$. I couldn't justify the additional cash for a thinner, lighter system, with similar speed/screen. Granted the screen is better, but when comparing the $899 refurb I have [and love] to almost $1,000 more Air, it just didn't set well.

If I traveled extensively, and needed that extra bit of portability; maybe. But the MB I have really isn't all that heavy, compared to the DELL D830 I used to carry around...

I just don't think the price comes close to justifying the gain in portability.


I travel with my MB quite often and during the semester i bring it to campus pretty well every day. I've never once thought "damn, this macbook is to bulky to carry", the MB is quite small and light (maybe this is because my previous laptop was a huge dell...
