Hi Folks. I have been using my 15" Customized MBP happily since 2008. While El Capitan runs slowly (same was the experience with Yosemite before), Apple Care suggested me to upgrade my machine from 4GB to 6GB. While my machine has stopped working as is undergoing repair works (should cost me only 150+), am considering the below:
- Is it wise to upgrade my current machine ram to 6GB? or
- Go with a 13" MBA?
I always wanted to buy a MBA if a 16GB ram configuration was offered, to future-proof my purchase (I have been using my MBP for Win experimentations as well, using Boot Camp (for work-related knowledge). Having purchased the Ms Office 2011 dirt-cheap under a scheme, i don't have the need to switch to Ms OS anymore (there were times where i took my MBP to work and didn't have any issue, excepting when i had to use Ms Project for making updates to the Project Plans though).
I did consider rMBP (with its 16GB offering) but wanted something lighter, with longer battery life.
Any views? Does any of you use your MBA for personal use (while experimenting new Win OS for office sake?)
