I'm thinking of moving off my early 2013 (i think?! its the most recent spec) Non Retina MacBook Pro, its a baseline 15'', with RAM upped to 16gb, and got apple care till sometime in 2015.
I want to sell it for what they retail for, which would equate to a 400 quid ish saving, to the buyer.
And buy a Baseline MacMini and MacbookAir.
Why?
MacbookPro, is great, but big and heavy, spends most of its time plugged into my Dell Monitor, and i don't use it for much more than Facebook/Internet etc. And some Cubase/Logic audio work.
MacbookAir is tiny, can slip it in my bag when i want it for school, and power away with my work, and a small amount of Cubase will run fine, as will a Windows VM for tiny bits.
MacMini, doesn't move off my desk, i can sit down, do my work and leave again, small footprint, quiet, its intrusive. And plenty fast enough for Audio work and anything else i do.
Airdrop between them to move files.
Am i making a silly mistake?
