I have a dilemma that I cant make a decision on and I am looking for some advice on this little situation.
I currently have a white MacBook and a base 11". I am pondering the thought of selling the 2 and having just one 13" (probably the 4gb, 128gb) instead. The thing I'm most concerned about is going ahead and doing it now before a possible refresh, although if a refresh is still at least 5/6 months away I wouldn't have a problem with the 2011 13" as I have the base 2011 and it is great , but just lacks storage(64gb). I heard the 2012 model would have Ivy Bridge, but the main Increase is in battery life and Discrete Graphics if I'm right, or are there any other differences? I don't play games on the 11" as it is so I highly doubt i'd start trying to game on a 13" either. One other concern is 256gb storage in the 2012 for the same price as 128gb now? Is this likely possible?
The reason I want to upgrade is for more screen estate, and also I feel it is kind of pointless trying to live with 2 Macs when 1 13" MBA would probably cover everything I do on the 2 and would be the most convenient (i.e. twice my current storage in the Air and close enough storage to the white MacBook).
I don't want another MacBook Pro as the Air is definitely the future of computing and I hate the screen resolution on the 13" model.
Any suggestions are welcome
