Hi folks,
I have a few questions regarding my recent decision to finally upgrade my 3 year old MacBook to a new 13" MBA
There's not much wrong with this MacBook, she's been looked after (bought a new hard drive from 80gb to 160gb, upgraded RAM, recently brought a new battery) but I think it's time for a change, and over time I've noticed apps are running a lot slower (I recently tried to play the free Doctor Who games, which barely ran at all, compared to a friends newer model that ran like a dream) also I do a lot of travelling so it'd be nice to have less weight to carry round.
So my questions are:
I notice that MBAs have a 1.8ghz processer, my MB has 2ghz, would I notice much of a difference? (I don't do any heavy work, just iLife and Photoshop)
I also plan to store my music, photos and videos on a 1tb external hard drive, possibly hooked up to a wireless router (I'm not too worried about having my music on the go, that's what ipods are for) is this a smart idea? Are there any other options?
Where's the best place to then sell my old MacBook?
And is there anything else I've missed?
Sorry to ask a load of questions, but I'll be forever grateful for any advice you can give!
