need buying assistance

Thinking of a netbook. I have a MacBook Pro now and am thinking of adding an Air. Which HD is "recommended" by the folks here. Does the Solid State HD lessen the weight???
Thoughts or recommendations??
Thanks.

I would say go with the SSD for sure - reasons behind this -

1. Speed (the HD version of the Air is much slower)
2. SSDs won't crash as has happened in my MBP once already
3. A little better battery life - not much but some

But yes the SSD version of the Air is a much better system.

Just last week I migrated from a rev. A (1.6/80GB HDD) to a rev. C (2.13/128GB SSD) and it's the best move I made. I didn't have my A long (bought it new but only had it 10 months) but reading here I decided the SSD route was the way to go.

I've had my C a week and just love it!

I had a few netbooks when the netbook craze started. I eventually became bored with them and when compared to the MBA, the MBA wins hands down!! Obviously the MBA has a different audience than a netbook based on pricing, but if one can swing it, they definitely should consider it.

I never knew what all the fuss over the SSD was about when I first read it here. Now that I've had the chance to play and see, there is an absolute difference. I don't think so much a weight factor (as specs for both say 3#'s) but there is a bump up performance-wise with SSD.

If you can swing it, do it. You won't be sad if you do!

Yeah had Rev C for a day now and it's far superior to my Rev A by a long-shot SSD rocks!

If you buy an Air, make sure it is one with an SSD in it.
